The sugar- sand beaches are probably the area’s main attraction, but in the summertime us white skinned creatures need to be a little careful with the Florida sun; we have a tendency to look like a cooked Maine lobster after a while. 
So as you’re deciding to take a break from the sun, sand and surf, there is plenty to keep you amused in Sarasota, and maybe even amazed. Check out our web site for things to do in Sarasota/Sarasota County/Manatee County and Charlotte County. You will find a lot to discover and if you are hungry after all your sight seeing, there are much more than 100 different restaurants in Sarasota. Of course, there are tons of excellent chain restaurants, and they are just as good as the ones you‘re use to back home. But there are also locally owned restaurants that stand out, ones with special deserts, or where you can sit outside and watch the sunset, ones where you can meet the locals, and where you can get a taste of what it might be once you’ve moved down to Florida part or full time. |
For many years the national media have proclaimed Sarasota/Sarasota County as one of the best places in America to live and work. That just confirms what all of us (and the gentle dolphins in Sarasota Bay) already know. With about 600,000 people living in Sarasota and Manatee Counties combined, this is a thriving place to live and vacation. The area is located only 220 miles from Miami, 130 miles from Orlando, and 55 miles from Tampa – therefore Sarasota, Bradenton and Venice are perfectly situated for business and pleasure alike. |

| When crossing the John Ringling Bridge at 6:00 a.m. in the morning, a time when traffic is almost nonexistent in Sarasota, the sky and water are showing the first hint of pale and blue. You will be overwhelmed by the beauty of nature and the skyline of the city. When you roll down the windows the warm, balmy air is petting your skin and you can smell the water and the mangroves, you can actually taste the salt from the Gulf of Mexico on your lips. The higher the sun climbs the more you will be surrounded by a firework of colors. You will hear sea gulls communicating with each other and from time to time you will hear the sound of the awakening city. “This is exactly why I live here,” you may say to yourself. Yes, and you may assure yourself over and over again that you made the right decision to move here. “I still pinch myself every time I cross that beautiful body of water called little Sarasota Bay, silently exclaiming,” guys I made it, I live here! ” | The incredible natural environment and quality of life have always been the economic engines of this region. And that’s not just because they pull in affluent retirees who want to relax in the sun. We do have to admit that still a significant portion of the newcomers are retirees, but it is not the majority anymore. These days a lot of retirees get stuck halfway between the north and the south. When you don’t have to work anymore but want to be close by your kids some states like the Carolinas or Kentucky seem to be a decent alternative to Florida as well. The majority of the newcomers are younger people now, company employees and their families relocating from other places, and entrepreneurs who move here because they believe they’ll be working in paradise. Most often they’re introduced to the area when they visit family members or come for a beach vacation. They are not employees of big corporations; they work for smaller, more agile companies. Quasar Bio-Tech, founded in Valley Forge (PA), Focus Hospitality Services, LLC (Indiana) and Steelgate INC. (formerly located in Long Island) are just a few of them. They all fall in love with our warm, sunny cities stringed like pearls along Florida’s Gulf Coast. However, it’s not all about weather, golfing and beach when you have to make a sound business decision: Many of them find Florida’s lower taxes, affordable labor and utility costs, the quality of the workforce and our international airports all make the move worthwhile. Welcome in Florida! |

St. Armands Circle Just over the New Pass Bridge (the southern end of Longboat Key) or the new Ringling Causeway (from the mainland), is St. Armands Circle. The circle is a fun place to go at night, especially during the holiday season when white light illuminate the whole place. The circle with its various restaurants and bars has been the official nightspot of Sarasota for decades. In need of Public Transportation?
