Our Local Area

Located on the Gulf coast of Florida, Sarasota is a mid-sized city with something to offer for everyone. Our temperate winters allow for year-round outdoor adventures. In your free time, you can enjoy the world-renowned white-sand beaches studding the coastline, kayak through otherworldly mangrove tunnels, or canoe down the bay where you’re sure to see a dolphin or a manatee! Further inland, take in the majestic and untamed wilderness of the area’s state parks, and go wildlife-watching at Myakka, which is home to alligators, otters, bobcats, and much more. Sarasota also boasts a flourishing arts scene with a vibrant history. The Ringling Museum, Sarasota Art Museum, Sarasota Orchestra, the Sarasota Opera House, and the Historic Asolo Theater are just a few of the cultural attractions that draw visitors from around the globe. With its stunning natural beauty, options for recreation, and acclaimed dining, it’s no wonder why Sarasota is known for being a slice of paradise.
