Sarasota's journey
The fantastic public beach is just a block away! If you drive south next to the beach you will find several dressing areas.
Exit on Fruitville rd. (exit 210) to Sarasota. See the city web site.
In Sarasota, The Ringling Circus Museum offers a very impressive display of the circus life at its peak.
This is a really worthwhile visit!
As you pass by the V-J Day Kiss Statue, take the bridge to At-Armand's Island up to St-Armand's Circle. Columbia Restaurant on the circle is excellent!!!
Sarasota and St-Armands, at about 1 hour and 45 minutes, offer many things to do. The architecture of Sarasota impress by the harmony of the color and old style house. St-Armand's circle, just across the bridge, features exclusive shops, expensive galleries and world class restaurants. And, ..... gorgeous white sugar public beaches!!!
Drive to the highway 75 in direction of Tampa up to Sarasota.
