Destination Essentials

The best time to experience the sun-kissed city of Sarasota is April when Spring is in full bloom and the crowds of peak-season tourists have thinned out. The weather is perfectly balmy, ideal for languid beach activities or venturing into the heart of the city.

While the summer months from May to October can be delightfully warm, they are also the rainiest. Despite this, the charm and vibrancy of Sarasota lost none of its allure, its radiant shine ebullient through the light showers. For a more crowd-avoidant, quiet experience, consider planning your visit during the shoulder months of September and October.

Beaches

Often acknowledged as the 'Crown Jewel' of Florida's west coast, Sarasota offers an array of dazzling beaches that offer visitors plenty more than just relaxation. From white sandy coves to crystal clear waters and mesmerising sunsets, each beach possesses its own unique charm and allure.

Spend a glorious day basking in the sun at South Lido Park or enjoy the tranquillity of Lido Key Beach. Alternatively, explore the pristine shorelines of Lido Beach Park. Whether you find your peace in secluded spots away from the bustling crowd or desire to partake in adrenaline-fueled water activities, Sarasota's beaches cater to every whim and fancy.
