Sarasota Vacations

Sarasota, Florida is home to a variety of spectacular attractions. Home to baseball’s Baltimore Orioles, the Ed Smith Stadium offers spring training excitement. The Children’s Garden and Art Center offers a whimsically designed park for children, including a tree fort, secret garden, slide, fairy gardens, dress-up room, three little pigs’ house and pirate ship. The Historic Spanish Point is a 30-acre museum located near Little Sarasota Bay and features pioneer-style buildings, coastal habitats, a boardwalk and a stunning butterfly garden. The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art includes two Circus Museums, a Museum of Art, the Ca d’Zan Mansion, the Asolo Theater and pristine gardens and well-manicured grounds. For visitors looking for an outdoor sun-filled paradise, Sarasota is home to several fantastic beaches, including Longboat, Lido, Siesta, Casey/Nokomis and Venice. Siesta Beach rates the number one most relaxing beach in the U.S. and Casey Key is an eight-mile island that offers secluded, isolated enclaves off the small town of Nokomis. With only 400 inhabitants and two public beaches, this area is an isolated retreat from hectic city life and offers a reclusive culture that allows for maximum relaxation and complete paradise.
