Its official limits include Sarasota Bay and several barrier islands between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. These islands (known as keys) include Siesta Key and Lido Key and are famous worldwide for the quality of their beaches. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Sarasota had a population of 54,349 in 2004. Sarasota is a principal city of the Sarasota-Bradenton-Venice, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area, and is the seat of Sarasota County. Rising on a gentle hillside beside the blue waters of Sarasota Bay, SARASOTA is one of Florida's better-off and better-looking towns, and also one of the state's leading cultural centers. It's home to numerous writers and artists, and the base of several respected performing arts companies. The community is far less stuffy than its wealth might suggest, and downtown Sarasota is fairly lively, with cafés, bars and eateries complementing the excellent grouping of bookstores for which the place has been known. Most visitors stop by to see the Ringling estate on the town's northern edge - home of the art-loving millionaire from whom modern Sarasota takes its cue - and the barrier island beaches, a couple of miles away across the bay. read full wikipedia reference about Sarasota, Florida OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN FLORIDAAlachua Altamonte Springs Boca Raton Bonita Springs Boynton Beach Bradenton Brandon Clearwater Clermont Cocoa Coconut Grove Coral Gables Coral Springs Crestview Crystal River Davenport Daytona Beach Deland Deerfield Beach Defuniak Springs Delray Beach Destin Ellenton Florida City Fort Lauderdale Fort Myers Fort Pierce Fort Walton Gainesville Hollywood Islamorada Jacksonville Key Largo Key West Kissimmee Lake Buena Vista Lake City Lake Mary Lakeland Leesburg Marco Island Marianna Melbourne Miami Naples New Port Richey Ocala Orlando Ormond Beach Palm Beach Panama City Pensacola Plantation Pompano Beach Port St. Lucie Sanford Sanibel Sarasota Silver Springs Singer Island St. Augustine St. Cloud St. Petersburg Tallahassee Tampa Treasure Island Venice Vero Beach Wesley Chapel West Palm Beach Winter Haven |
