Although it doesn't have the worldwide fame of Disney World in Orlando, or that of Miami Beach, Sarasota is still very well known for its amazing beaches and world class art museums. Both Siesta Key and Longboat Key have miles of award winning beaches, with probably the most unique crystal white sands that you will ever see. There is something for everybody in Sarasota, whether you are into fine dining, boating and fishing, or you just want to relax and have fun in the sun.
Siesta Key is one of the most popular the beaches on the southwest coast of Florida and is famous for its soft white sand. Amenities include lifeguards, concessions, picnic tables, grills, restrooms, showers & volleyball & tennis courts.
An amazing sight you must see when visiting Sarasota or Siesta Key is the drum circle. This happens on Siesta Key every Saturday night, and brings together local poets, musicians and drummers. It's an amazing spectacle to witness.
At the intersection of 41 and University Parkway sits the Classic Car Museum, a treasure trove of antique automobiles and other Americana, such as arcade games and posters. This is a great place to spend a rainy day as it's mostly inside. Practically across the street from the Classic Car Museum is the Ringling Museum of Art, an ever-growing museum complex funded by circus magnate John Ringling's estate. His house, C'adz 'an, has recently been restored and is pen to the public.
Down the street from the Ringling Museum lies the Sarasota Jungle Gardens, a botanical zoo in which one can feed pelicans and flamingoes, sit among exotic plants, or pose for a photo with several parrots perched on your shoulder. Further south along US 41, you will find the Mote Marine Laboratory, a marine aquarium.
Any aspiring bird watchers, or animal loves, should make the effort to visit the Pelican Man Bird sanctuary. This facility takes in injured, lost or abandoned birds and nurses them back to health.
For such a small city, Sarasota offers a surprising variety of ethnic food restaurant. Popular recommendations include 'Mickey's' on Pineable Avenue, and 'Tropical Thai' on Main Street. There is also a lot of restaurants for the vegetarians among us.
