Arts & Culture

This beautiful complex of buildings and gardens is the gem of Sarasota. There is an art museum, yes, but also a circus museum and a mansion. Plus the gorgeous gardens. They have casual and fine dining options, too. Make a day of it!

Close by historic estate and gardens. Not as grand as the Ringling Estate but my favorite place to walk and learn.

My favorite local breakfast and lunch place. Homemade everything, just the way you order it. It won't look like much on the outside, I know. But SOOO good...

Parks & Nature

Locals call it Spanish Point, due to the finger of land it occupies. It's now a private park, very natural Florida feel. Boardwalks and mangroves, old Florida houses and visitor's center. It's ten minutes from my house and I always take my guests there.
