Discover Sarasota

Never feel lost at sea.

Located just south of the Tampa Bay area and north of Fort Myers, Sarasota Bay features a series of islands nestled between the Gulf and Sarasota. Offering recreation and entertainment opportunities that attract visitors from around the world, the Bay’s stretches of white, sandy beaches are ranked among America’s best, and the surrounding waters offer some of the best saltwater fishing and recreational water sports in the area. Spend your day exploring the remote nature trails where you can observe wildlife in its natural habitat, and enjoy dining at its finest in one of Sarasota’s many restaurants downtown, or at one of St. Armands Circle’s stellar restaurants.

While it’s been long known as a vacation destination thanks to its pristine beaches and abundant golfing, Sarasota’s permanent residents have discovered a wide range of arts and cultural opportunities. Museums, performing arts centers with world class ballet, theater, opera and classical music, and outdoor festivals are just some of the attractions you can enjoy in Sarasota.
