Sarasota is a thriving waterfront community, but don’t let the laid back island life fool you. We are also home to many cosmopolitan attractions such as Sarasota Opera House, Ringling Museum of Art, Mote Marine Labratory & Aquarium, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and so many more. Sarasota boasts championship golf courses, the Sarasota Polo Club and Nathan Benderson Rowing Park. For sports enthusiasts, watch a Baltimore Orioles or Atlanta Braves spring training game.
