About Sarasota


Come...A Waterfront Paradise Awaits.
Welcome to Sarasota...sophisticated yet laid-back, elegant, fun-loving, and dedicated to the arts.

A beautiful bay awaits where resident dolphins play and swaying palm trees line quiet streets leading to diversions of live theater, world-class shopping, and the white sandy beaches of sun-drenched islands that stretch along the sea-green Gulf of Mexico. On these islands, it’s a Sarasota tradition to arrive for sunset a bit early for evening walks or just to relax on beach towels. Others gather to practice juggling, ride unicycles, or strum guitars. All celebrate our unexcelled views of a Matisse-bright sun melting into the gulf.

Because each of the islands, as well as the mainland, sports its own distinct personality, the Sarasota area offers more variety than you’ve ever dreamed.

Come...get acquainted with all of it. You just may not ever want to leave.
