Sarasota is known for more than just its pretty beaches (even if its Siesta Key was voted the best one in the United States). The southwestern Florida city stretches from the mainland to a smattering of islands, like Lido Key and Siesta Key, helping cross the cosmopolitan edge of big-city living with the small-town vibes of a tiny beach town. It's home to the annual Sarasota Film Festival, a vibrant arts and theater scene, the gorgeous grounds of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, The Ringling Museum of Art, and more. And when you're not kayaking, beaching, fishing, boating, golfing or just plain living the Florida lifestyle, it's also a prime place to sit down for a good meal.
