With three semitropical barrier islands just minutes from downtown, each with exceptionally wide expanses of powdery white sand, you are assured of a pristine spot for your beach blanket in Sarasota. Add world-class shopping and international cuisine at St. Armand’s Circle, nightlife in the downtown theater district, family fun at the Mote Aquarium, the Venetian-themed architecture and gardens of the Ringling Museum of Art, and the jungle-like beauty of Myakka River State Park, and Sarasota is easily one of Florida’s most all-inclusive destinations.
Sarasota has been attracting sport-fishermen and health seekers since its first hotel and two-hole golf course opened in 1887. Today there are miles of accommodations to choose from among the palms of Lido Key, on exclusive Longboat Key, and at Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach on famous Siesta Key. Choose below from our list of condos, hotels, and beach house rentals.
There are now more than fifty golf courses in and around Sarasota. The fishing is legendary, with more fishable species here than in any other part of the country. And there are literally hundreds of restaurants of every kind. You can find listings for all these things by exploring the links to the left.
