From that side you can see the Sunshine Parkway bridge and the cruiseships and other ships/boats that go out from the port (limited #, so check your favorite cruise website to see when they will be going out to sea).

Bringing or renting bikes to ride all around the island and/or get from place to place is a nice option. We stayed once at Harrison House B&B which offered free bikes.

There's another place at the south end of the island where you can walk from the beach side to the intracoastal side easily. Look on TripAdvisor. Can also drive over the little bridge that connects to Longboat Key, take the first left, and find 2-3 more intracoastal side restaurants (and see the peacocks on the roofs along the way). Again, has been a few years. Hope everything still there.

Be sure to look for the Star Fish Cafe under the Cortez bridge - in the little fishing village of Cortez.

All this talk is making me want to go back for a couple of days!
Where is the location you are talking about?

High noon resort in Lauderdale-by-the sea right on the beach, Family owned, can walk to most restaurants in the area. Check out their website.
