- Longboat Key is home to a year-round population of 7,000 and draws as many as 22,000 at the peak of season, usually considered to be Easter weekend. That's a special Palm Sunday, literally.
- Peacocks, flocks of peacocks! Although their beginnings are mystery, over the years they have multiplied and are never shy when it comes to photo opportunities.
- Longboat Key has not been hit directly by a hurricane since 1947. You could say LBK is an ACE in the hole.
