On Florida’s Southwest Coast, Sarasota offers the best of both worlds, with a combination of big-city living and close access to pristine natural areas and beautiful islands. The city of Sarasota is a scene of eateries, theaters, shopping boutiques, and artist enclaves. Shops and colorful bungalows turned into bakeries, galleries, salons, and yoga studios surround central downtown and are divided into five districts: Burns Court, Towles Court, Rosemary District, Historic Palm Avenue, and Gillespie Park.

Enjoy live music and unique vendors with high-quality produce, food, and crafts at the Sarasota Farmer’s Market. Next, head to the Ringling Mansion, Circus Museum, and art museum. Get a glimpse of a restored circus train and old circus wagons, or browse collections of famous master artists. The fun continues at picturesque Bayfront Park where kids will enjoy play areas and adults can stroll along the marina from the iconic dolphin fountain to Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. The exhibits at the botanical gardens include the Children’s Rainforest Garden, the Tropical Conservatory, the Banyan Grove, the Bonsai exhibit, the Butterfly Garden, and many more.

Outdoor activities are endless in Sarasota. Play a round of golf at one of several championship golf courses including University Park Country Club, Rolling Green Golf Club, and the Bobby Jones Golf Complex. Rent a sailboat, go kayaking, or take a tour of the gulf. Parasailing, paddleboarding, and snorkeling are also fantastic options. Whatever your preference, join us in Sarasota!
