Sarasota, Florida
When you visit Sarasota, Florida, you’ll find three things in abundance: gorgeous white beaches, out-of-this-world vegan food and a bountiful art scene.
If you vacation here you’ll find that the city is very quiet and peaceful, far enough away from major cities to feel like a refuge but close enough for a day trip. Tampa, for example, is 60 miles away.
Sarasota has also been known as a cultural mecca for decades. That’s why you can’t miss out on visiting the Historic Asolo Theater, built for Queen Caterina of Cyprus’ palace in Asolo before it was dismantled, purchased and reassembled to host plays and opera.
Additionally, you could plan your visit around one of the many festivals held here such as the Sarasota Film Festival, the Harvey Milk Festival which is held in support of the LGBTQ+ community, or the Sarasota Chalk Festival!
