Things To Do
St. Armands Circle
Think palm trees, boutique shopping, great food, and vacation vibes all wrapped into one walkable circle. St. Armands is a Sarasota favorite and a perfect spot to grab lunch, enjoy a drink, browse unique shops, or simply soak up the Florida sunshine. If you're looking for a fun way to spend a few hours while you're in town, this is it. Our favorite restaurant and first date: Venenzia...the best pizza in Sarasota (per Matt)
Siesta Key Beach
Famous for its powdery white sand and crystal-clear Gulf waters, Siesta Key Beach is one of Sarasota's biggest treasures. Whether you're looking to relax in the sun, take a sunset stroll, or dip your toes in the water, it's the perfect place to experience Florida's laid-back coastal lifestyle. Don't forget your sunscreen—you may end up staying longer than you planned.
The Roof Bar and Eats
Lindsay firmly believes that almost everything is better with a rooftop view. Luckily, Sarasota delivers. Grab a drink, settle in overlooking the bay, and watch the sun put on its nightly show. The food is great, the views are even better, and the sunset photos practically take themselves.
Lido Key Beach
While Siesta Key gets a lot of the headlines, Lido Key is a local favorite for a reason. Less crowded, equally beautiful, and just a short distance from St. Armands Circle, it's the perfect place to spend a laid-back beach day. Bring a chair, a good book, and your vacation mindset.
