We are going to Sarasota this week and we love the beaches there.

The Marina is nice to wander through. Siesta Key is worth a visit. Jerry Springer and Arnie have houses there are you will see a Rollys Royce or 2 on a good day, it is very wealthy.

Myakka state park is worth a visit, and Siesta key crescent beach is one of the best in the world.

Longboat key/St Armands circle is great for shopping and has some very nice restaurants.

I love Sarasota. [msnsmile2] Enjoy Mr Flibble [msnwink]

I love Longboat Key. There are some great little coffee shops where you can easily sit a few hours and just watch the world go by.

You must eat at Tommy Bahamas, it's really good.

Yep, absolutley love Longboat Key, St Amands Circle for all those nice little shops. Hemingways Restaurant and the Dry Dock Bar & Grill are 2 eating places we thought were excellent. Hemingways is just off St Amands, Dry Dock is heading up Longboat Key its on your right watch out for the signpost for it. The Dry Dock is next to a Dry Dock Boat Storage Hanger.

I don't know whether it is too early,but the nearby State Park gets manatees and their young over the winter (the power station warms the water) I will look for a link when I get time (it is about $1 to get in)It may even be the one already mentioned
