Beyond its natural beauty, this island enclave is renowned for its concentration of mid-century and modern homes from acclaimed architects including Paul Rudolph and Ralph Twitchell. Residents of Lido Shores enjoy exclusive access to a private beach through a secure gate, with a covered pavilion for entertaining and resident-only events that strengthen the close-knit nature of the community.
