Nokomis is a census-designated place (CDP) in Sarasota County, Florida, United States. The population was 3,334 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Bradenton--Sarasota--Venice Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Nokomis is famous for Casey Key, a barrier island split with the CDP of Osprey created by the intracoastal waterway, where there are beachfront houses worth millions of dollars lining the key.

Visitors to Nokomis can enjoy small-town living and a relaxed beach town atmosphere while also experiencing all that the West Coast has to offer. Nokomis is just minutes from Sarasota, considered a cultural haven by many. The town of Venice is also close by, where sightseers can collect sharks' teeth on one of the many beaches.

Relaxation, beautiful beaches, cultural events and shopping are all on the agenda during a visit to Nokomis. Nokomis is bolstered by its proximity to nearby towns, but if you're looking for the charisma and appeal of unpretentious Florida living, Nokomis is the place to be!
