Lido Key is an amazing beach and our personal favorite in Sarasota. We recommend the beach access right as you leave St. Armand's Circle. We also recommend South Lido for scenic views of the bay as well as a great playground.
Local's only tip: If you walk to the very tip of North Lido you will find a great nature trail.

Excellent playground at an excellent park! Payne Park is often referred to as "Sarasota's Central Park". Right at the end of our street, we highly recommend taking the Legacy Trail down there to check it out.
