Attractions and Things to Do in Sarasota Florida
Before taking in a Latin dance
show, Cuban theme party or Latin theme party, salsa enthusiasts
should take the time to check out the many attractions in Sarasota.
Spend the day at the Ringling
Circus Museum where there is lots to see and do.
The miniature circus is absolutely
amazing and you can get breathtaking views of the water from
the Ringling's winter home, Ca d'Zan. The guided tour of the
art museum is also unmissable.
What's the point in having a
tropical Caribbean climate if you can't go to the beach? This
area has some beautiful stretches of sandy shoreline, none more
appealing than the public beach at Siesta Keys.
Powdery sand, clear water and
breathtaking sunsets all add to the appeal. Salsa fans won't
want to miss this chance to soak up the sun.
St Armand's Circle by Lido Key
is a great place for salsa dancers to check out the shops.
There are more than 100 specialty
boutiques as well as plenty of places to sit with a drink, take
in the beachside views and soak up the sunshine.
While you're waiting for Latin
music, Cuban music, bands and salsa dancing, take a day to explore
the outdoors in Sarasota.
Spot the flamingoes, birds of
prey and reptiles at the Sarasota Jungle Gardens, and take the
chance to pet an alligator.
The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens
features a children's learning center, a mangrove forest and
a beautiful old home with art on display. If you want to enjoy
a panoramic view of the area, try the Myakka Canopy Walkway which
takes you through the treetops.
The Myakka River State Park itself
makes a great day out for the whole family, with a wide range
of outdoor activities.
