Meanings
proper noun
- A town in Manatee County and Sarasota County, Florida, United States.
Donald Trump didn’t struggle to win the Florida town of Longboat Key in 2024. With a median age of 71.5 — only 6% of its residents are under 50 — it’s the sort of retirement community that built up his margin statewide. Think The Villages, but with better tarpon fishing.
