Rick,
The southeastern tip of Egmont Key is a designated bird sanctuary and you are not allowed on the beach. There is a large, very large area of shoaling just south of Egmont towards Anna Maria Island which is a kiteboarding paradise. There is one sand bar known as Passage Key, it is well marked with regulatory signs designating the area off limits.
You have to watch out for the current here and be aware this area is known for large hammerhead sharks.
