Sarasota & Manatee One Year After the Storms


A look at our coastline.



As this new season begins, Sarasota and Manatee counties are looking refreshed, resilient, and as beautiful as ever. It’s been a full year since Hurricanes Helene and Milton swept across the Gulf Coast, reshaping beaches and testing infrastructure from Manasota Key to Anna Maria Island. Today, our coastline tells a story of steady progress — a mix of renewal, rebuilding, and natural adaptation.

Whether you’re returning for the season or keeping an eye on your favorite coastal spots, here’s an up-to-date look at how the region is faring — from the restored beaches and reopened parks to the areas still under repair or quietly transforming for the future.
