A local favorite with amazing food and drinks. One man band plays while you sit at chairs in sand listening to great one man bands. Very unique and fun vibe overlooking a bay with beautiful sunsets. Note: the wait is never as long as they say.

Sightseeing
Dolphin Cruise – located in Sarasota, this is a great way to get on the water. We went on LeBarge Tropical Cruise, fun tropical boat with drinks, snacks and shaded areas. You get to see beautiful houses from the waterside, you will see dolphins and manatees and the “cruise director” does a great job

Siesta Key - Voted best beach in the US, it is a “must see beach”.

Here is where the intercoastal waterway goes out to the ocean. There is a walkway down the jetty, one side is rocks that you can fish off of and the other side is part of Nokomis Beach. Boats going in and out and almost every time we see dolphins or manatees swimming in and out of the channel. Lots of pelicans and shells. Something for everyone to do.

Located at the end of downtown Venice, nice laid-back beach, our favorite spot to watch the sunset. Often if we are staying home for dinner we will jump in the car with a chair or blanket and drive to Venice to watch the sunset, no prep needed.
