In TV I presume there's so many options of things to do and new friends to meet that you do not miss being within 20 minutes of beach.
I lived in Sarasota back in the 80s but not on any of the keys. But it was a 15 minute drive to Siesta Key Beach. It was nice but I don't know what I'd do there now. Back then we were raising kids and working so it was a different life.
