Sarasota, FL: what to do/what to eat

We went in May, great time to go. It did get a bit hot, so April would probably be even better. It wasn’t too busy or touristy yet. We were only here for a couple days and then we drove to Orlando for some more fun. We knocked out a lot of the touristy things to do and had fun doing it! There is a seafood place that I can not remember, but I feel like this close to the ocean, you can’t really go wrong with any sea food! The art museum, Columbia Restaurant and the beach were my favorite parts.

What to do:

☀️ Beaches at Siesta Key

☀️ Beaches at Lido Key

☀️ Mote aquarium

☀️ shopping at St. Armands Circle

☀️ Ringling Brothers museum

☀️ Cà d’Zan mansion

☀️ The Ringling art museum

☀️ Busch Gardens Theme Park in Tampa

Things to eat:

🍣 Pacific Rim for sushi

🥙Columbia Restaurant for amazing atmosphere

🍰 Le Macaron French Pastries a treat and espresso

🥗Mattison’s City Grille for live music on a patio

Did I miss anything worth mentioning?!

Sarasota, Florida, is a treasure trove of activities and delicious dining experiences. Start your adventure at beautiful Siesta Key Beach, renowned for its powdery white sand and stunning sunsets.

Shopping fans can explore St. Armands Circle, a retail paradise with charming boutiques and local shops. When it comes to dining, Sarasota shines with options like Pacific Rim for fresh sushi and the Columbia Restaurant for a taste of Cuban cuisine in a vibrant atmosphere. For something sweet, Le Macaron offers delectable French pastries and coffee. Lastly, if you have extra time, consider a short trip to Busch Gardens Theme Park in nearby Tampa for thrilling rides and animal encounters.
