Sarasota and Bradenton

Sarasota and Bradenton Information

Drive from St Pete Beach across the amazing Sunshine Skyway (a bridge so high that even cruise ships can pass comfortably underneath!) and enter the ‘hidden Florida’ of Sarasota and Bradenton. This peaceful resort area boasts fantastic, white-sand beaches and a range of activities from kayak trails and fishing excursions to upmarket shopping and waterfront dining. Cultural attractions are also high on the agenda, with opera and art galleries being particularly popular. Don’t miss the Ringling Estates, where you can discover more about the famous Ringling Circus. For some retail therapy head to St Armand’s Circle for speciality stores or to historic Venice Main Street for a taste of small-town Americana, malls include Ellenton Premium Outlets mall and Westfield Shopping town with over 140 shops and outlets stores.
