Are you taking a vacation to Sarasota, Florida? This is a fabulous place to bring your family for a little rest and relaxation. Here are ten fun things to do in Sarasota:
1) Stroll around St. Armand’s Circle – What a fun destination to grab a meal, have a drink with friends, spend a day at the spa or grab an ice cream and go window shopping.
2) Walk on the beach – It sounds so cliche but it really is fun. Go to one of the area beaches – Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, or Nokomis beach and enjoy a stroll along the beach. The views are breathtaking.
3) Parasail – Do you like heights? I don’t and that is why I have not done this yet. Strap yourself in and get pulled by a boat. You will go a hundred or so feet in the air and get pulled around the Gulf of Mexico.
4) Boating – Go rent a boat for a day and cruise around the Gulf of Mexico or Sarasota bay. Stop at O’Leary’s near downtown Sarasota for a great bite to eat. What a fun day.
5) Hook a fish – There is some great fishing in the Sarasota bay and Gulf of Mexico. In the summertime you can hook into a tarpon. Grab a charter boat and go for a day of fishing.
6) Enjoy a meal – There are countless number of great restaurants in Sarasota. You can find anything from a cheap but tasty restaurant all of the way to very expensive fine dining. Some great restaurants include Cafe L’ Europe, Cha Cha Coconuts, Columbia, Dry Dock, Euphemia Haye, Daquiri Deck, Marina Jacks, Pacific Rim and Gecko’s.
7) Van Wezel – Go to a show at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center. Entertainers from all over come to Sarasota to put on a show.
Walk the bridge – Need a little exercise after all of the fine dining in Sarasota? Take a walk over the Ringling bridge. What a great place to work up a sweat and see some amazing scenery.
9) Go for a bike ride – There are plenty of places to go for a bike ride. If you want a little exercise go rent a bike and cruise around town. Some of the good spots include Longboat Key, Lakewood Ranch, Casey Key and Siesta Key.
10) Admire real estate – Jump in your rental car and look at some amazing real estate. Drive over to Lido Key, Bird Key, Casey Key, Longboat Key and Siesta Key. Take a spine by some of the finest waterfront mansions in the area.
Sarasota, Florida is a great place to take the family on a vacation. There are many more fun things to do than what I have written above. You may like Sarasota so much that you may ultimately decide to make it your permanent home. As a vacationed you can find as much or as little as you want to do.
