Lido Beach Resort Gets National Attention for its Re-nourished Beach and Package Offers

SARASOTA, Fla., June 10 FL-SarasotaHotel-Rank


SARASOTA, Fla., 
June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- 
Sarasota & Her Islands (www.sarasotafl.org) are scoring high on national rankings this summer with Lido Beach being named one of America's best restored beaches and the Ritz-Carlton, 
Sarasota ranked as the number one domestic hotel and number three hotel world-wide by Expedia.com's Insider Select List. 



Lido Beach has been raising eyebrows since the 
April 2009 completion of a federal-grant supported re-nourishment project. The beach on Lido Key was expanded 150 - 200 feet and has more than 600,000 tones of new white sand. It has been restored to its condition prior to the damaging 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons. The restoration was recognized by the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association in May as one of America's best restored beaches. 



"Guests to Lido Beach will delight in the beauty of the beach," said Sarasota Convention and Visitors Bureau President 
Virginia Haley. "We locals are amazed with the transformation and are so happy to be able to share it at its best, with the world."



Lido Beach is located just beyond St. Armand's Circle, which is commonly referred to 
Sarasota's Rodeo Drive offering dining, shopping and entertainment. With Lido Beach being conveniently located near St. Armand's Circle as well as the rest of the destination's miles of white sand beaches, accommodations, attractions, culture, shopping and dining, the refreshed appearance of the beach is estimated to inject a potential of 
$21 - $37 million in economic impact into 
Sarasota, according to city officials.
