We are very proud of our town. Sarasota is small enough to be warm and friendly but large enough to offer great restaurants, ballet, opera, live theater, wonderful art and antique galleries, a world-class art museum, golf courses of all levels, the best beaches imaginable, and fabulous homes and condominiums of all sizes and styles.

Sarasota is located on the West coast of Florida, about halfway between Tampa (60 miles/ 96 km the North) and Fort Myers (55 mi./ 88 km to the South). The greater Sarasota area includes Sarasota, Bradenton, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Casey Key, and Anna Maria Island. Our location puts us within an hour's drive of Tampa and St. Petersburg, a 2 hour drive to Orlando, and 3 hours to the Miami / Ft. Lauderdale area.
