A landmark since 1929
Same pass. Same promise. Almost 100 years.
Sarasota County’s New Pass was cut by the hurricane of 1848 — and the original bait shop opened the year the New Pass Bridge first carried the public across, on Easter Sunday, 1929. For generations it’s buzzed with boaters and fishermen after bait, tackle, or “the coldest beer and best burgers in town.”
“Look — there’s a NEW PASS!”
