Food Scene
You won't find better ice cream in Sarasota than at Main Street Creamery. They serve locally made Yoder's Southern Creamery ice cream! I highly recommend this place as I personally know the owners. You won't be disappointed when visiting downtown SRQ.

Unlike beaches elsewhere that are made up mostly of pulverized coral, Siesta Beach's sand is 99% quartz, most of which comes from the Appalachian Mountains. Over time the feldspar and mica have been removed from the rock, leaving almost pure quartz. Even on the hottest days, the sand is so reflective that it feels cool underfoot.

Lido Beach is very popular and attracts visitors from all over the world. While the beach isn't as large as nearby Siesta Key Beach, I describe Sarasota's Lido Beach as more relaxed and less crowded.

Sandwiched between the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay, Longboat Key boasts some of the best beaches near Sarasota. Access to these nice beaches may be limited, but trust me, they are definitely worth it.
Once you arrive in these white sand havens, you’ll be rewarded with 10 miles of uncrowded and untouched beaches.
There are no concessions and amenities available at these beaches.
So, make sure to pack food, beach chairs, drinks and other essentials before visiting these seaside hangouts.
