This funky up and coming art district has some hidden gems like artisan cheese shops, coffee shops and galleries. Just avoid central and 10th . Use Cocoanut.

Lido Beach
One of the top 5 beaches in the US! Easy to take the Bay Runner Trolly and avoid parking.
A MUST SEE! A bit of a drive but this beach and quaint little town is adorable and stunning. Go early to beat the traffic and have lunch at sand bar seafood and spirits.

Umbrella!
Sarasota gets unexpected downpours that are gorgeous! But having an umbrella handy is smart. (Usually May thru October)
Costumbres y cultura
The Central–Cocoanut Historic District
This area of Sarasota is a taste of “Old Florida”. The residents are a mix of new families and generations of Floridians who have lived there since the 20’s. It’s a diverse neighborhood that is in transition with lovely old homes and even older Oak Trees!
