RE:      Suncoast Naturals, Inc.
         Form SB-2 Registration Statement (File No. 333-107826)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We refer to the  above-captioned  registration  statement  on Form SB-2
(the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"),   filed  by  Suncoast  Naturals,   Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the
"Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         We have examined the originals, photocopies,  certified copies or other
evidence of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company
and  public  officials,  and other  documents  as we have  deemed  relevant  and
necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination,
we have assumed the  genuineness  of all  signatures,  the  authenticity  of all
documents   submitted  to  us  as  certified   copies  or  photocopies  and  the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

         Based on our  examination  mentioned  above, we are of the opinion that
the  securities  being sold  pursuant  to the  Registration  Statement  are duly
authorized and will be, when issued in the manner  described in the Registration
Statement, legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         We hereby  consent to the filing of this  opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under "Legal Matters" in
the related Prospectus.  In giving the foregoing consent, we do not hereby admit
that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7
of the  Act,  or the  rules  and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.
