Sarasota: Pieces of Paradise
The Visit Sarasota website covers all the see-and-do basics, but in our quest to make each of your visits memorable we also publish monthly "Pieces of Paradise" (POP) newsletters to share what’s happening and happy-ning in the Sarasota area.
Historic Spanish Point
POP May 2023
Some claim Florida's history begins with the arrival of "a mouse" in Orlando, but a visit to Historic Spanish Point quickly corrects that perception.
Illuminated Kayak Tour
POP April 2023
We've read articles about bioluminescence in Sarasota Bay. And it sounds awesome!!! Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find any evidence of it on our own. So this month we "settled" for the next best thing - an LED illuminated glass bottom kayak tour. It will definitely hold us over until the day (night) when we can witness local bioluminescence firsthand.
The Many Mini Golfs
POP February 2023
When you're entertaining friends and visitors, mini ("putt putt") golf is a classic past-time. Sarasota has several courses from which to choose, each offering its own advantages. Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf takes the cake for a fun experience with the quirky obstacles of more memorable miniature golf courses.
