Nokomis, FL

Nokomis Beach Florida. I took this picture a few months ago but I just love it. It was about 9:00am and what a beautiful day it was. This just reminds me of what Florida living is all about and thought I should share it with everyone.

"Eclectic"

"Electric" is defined as selecting what appears to be best in various doctrines, methods, or styles and the Curry Creek Café does just that. They take the best in various types of cooking styles and serve them up with a hometown feel.

Housed in a diner-style building on Tamiami Trail South in Nokomis, just South of Casey Key this little-known gem is anything but "diner style'. Once you get past the building and its dirt parking lot you will find some of the most outstanding food in Sarasota County.

The dining area is small but its charm is immediately felt with the vintage photos and memorabilia from the area. The food is nothing short than amazing. Chef/owner David Arbuckle is a Nokomis native who left the area to become an award-winning chef. His wife, Rofie, is from Indonesia, and though fairly new to the restaurant business, adds her signature to the menu with her wonderful egg rolls, coconut milk shrimp curry, jasmine rice, and traditional rendang (a beef stew).

Between Rofie's Indonesian dishes and Chef David's creativeness with the more traditional favorites such as meatloaf, lamb chops, and crab cakes, this is a restaurant not be missed.

Nick Herron & Kathleen Herron of the Herron Group / RE/MAX Alliance Group would be glad to show you any of the properties listed on Sarasota Barrier Islands of Casey Key. Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Manasota Key, Island of Venice, and Lido Key. Call 941.350.5035 or 1-800-789-6580

Beach, Bay or Back Nine...Live the Dream

Nokomis, Florida is small town located just 15 miles south of Sarasota and just north of Venice on Dona Bay. Nokomis Florida is also home to Sarasota County's oldest beach, Nokomis Beach, located on Casey Key, which offers free parking, picnic area, boat ramps, volleyball courts, restrooms and 20 acres of beautiful sand dunes and sparkling Gulf waters. Nokomis is a boaters' paradise, with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, which is teaming with sports fishing opportunities.

The tropical eight mile long barrier island, Casey Key, offers prestigious island living and is rich with that old Florida charm. Many celebrities and famous people call Nokomis home, most notably Stepen King. Just minutes to downtown Sarasota, Casey Key is private and remote yet in the heart of Sarasota's many cultural activities. Nokomis Florida is not just for the rich and famous, it is perfect for families and winter residents too.

Conveniently located close to I-75, it is easy to travel to larger city of Tampa, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Devil Rays and Tampa Bay Lightning. With the many canals that wind through Nokomis and lead out to Dona Bay, Lyons Bay or Shakett Creek, Nokomis is sure to have something for you.
