Sarasota is a city with approximately 52,000 residents, located on the west coast of Florida in Sarasota County. Sarasota offers much in the way of culture, including the top-notch Asolo Repertory Theater and a resident opera company. But plenty of residents think the city's greatest assets are its location on beautiful Sarasota Bay and its proximity to gorgeous beaches. Its beach on Siesta Key was named the best beach in America in 2011 by 'Dr. Beach,' Dr. Stephen Leatherman, Director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University.
Sarasota owes some of its cultural heritage to the influence of the Ringling family and its circus, which made Sarasota its winter headquarters in the early 20thCentury. It's because of John Ringling that Sarasota has a world-class art museum and a circus history museum, which visitors can tour.
Sarasota's most popular neighborhoods surround its burgeoning downtown, which boasts new shops, restaurants and an art scene. Gillespie Park and Paver/Ringling Park are two hot neighborhoods nearby.
