The sunny City of Sarasota is most famous for its wide expanse of beaches. Siesta Key or Crescent Beach has the powdery-white sand and lush tropical climate, while Longboat Key has miles and miles of pristine beach nestled among stately estates, seafront homes and well-manicured upscale condominiums.
Along with the wonderful beaches and unique, sunny weather, Sarasota has plenty of attractions that families, single folk and retirees can participate in. Among the notable arts and cultural venues in Sarasota are the Crowley Museum and Nature Center, the John and Mabel Ringling Museum of Art, the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and the Myakka River State Park. These attractions, among a wide array of choices, are a sure draw for families and tourists alike.
