History:
- Nokomis Beach is one of the
oldest beaches operated by Sarasota County.
- Portions of the site were
acquired in the late 1940's and early 1950's.
- In a 1986 bond referendum,
the citizens of Sarasota County voted to expand the beach by
an additional 600 feet.
- The results of the
development of a dune restoration system in 1985 which
includes five walkovers, has been very successful toward
preserving and protecting the shoreline at this site.
- The U.S. Coast Guard uses a
portion of the bay side of this park as their base of
operations for a 82 foot cutter and its crew.
