Sarasota

Tampa's southern neighbor

Sarasota is a city on Florida's Gulf Coast, known for its beaches, arts scene, and as a retirement destination.

The surrounding county shares the name.

Sarasota was winter headquarters for the Ringling Brothers circus, and the Ringling Museum remains a local landmark: We spent the afternoon at the Ringling in Sarasota.
