Activities

Meet a manatee, relax on the beach, stroll through a farmer’s market, or shop ‘til you drop in Sarasota, where it’s easy to make the most out of your trip, no matter what you do. Known as Florida’s Cultural Coast, Sarasota and Bradenton can help you discover your artistic side with a trip to one of many performing arts venues or art galleries, including Bradenton’s “Village of the Arts.” A must-see is the 66-acre bay-front oasis that was once the estate of John Ringling and his wife, Mable. Here, you can take a stroll in the rose garden, or peruse the circus museum, where you can check out the old costumes, wagons and the world’s largest miniature circus. You can also tour Ca’d Zan Mansion, a magnificent 56-room, Venetian Gothic palace that was once the Ringlings’ family home.

From biking to hiking, adventures in the area range from easygoing to heart-pounding. Swing into action on a golf course or a zip line, or walk the Bradenton Riverwalk. Set sail for a sunset dinner cruise, or check out a wildlife encounter while kayaking along the shoreline. Spend the day sailing, boating or skimming the waves on a jet ski.

Shopping

If you need a break from the sun and fun, shopping and nightlife on the Gulf Coast is plentiful. Sarasota’s small-town charm offers big-city sophistication with distinctive boutiques and shops found along Main Street and Palm Avenue. Only a short drive south is Venice, where small shops and boutiques grace the sidewalks, offering everything from classic island wear and jewelry to shells and shark teeth souvenirs. For open-air, pulsating nightlife, head to the corner of Lemon and Main, or for spectacular sunsets and live reggae and beach music, Centennial Park is the place to be.
