Sarasota, on Florida's Gulf Coast, has it all: magnificent beaches, world-class cultural attractions, and a city of white buildings fronting azure waters dotted with sailboats. It's home to the world-famous Ringling Museum of Art, as well as a number of outstanding performing arts groups and a vibrant community of artists and crafters making one-of-a-kind items.
Sarasota is also one of the top beach holiday destinations in Florida. Beaches are only a short distance from downtown, as are entertaining family tourist sites, prominent golf courses, and nature preserves where you can hike kayak, and fish. And you may be immersed in the tropical greenery, swamps, and wildlife of primeval Florida within a few minutes drive of town, and adjacent Bradenton also has a lot to offer. Face west at the end of the day if you want to find the true soul of Sarasota. The scorching sun will never stop falling into a watery horizon, and it will take your breath away.
