Home to many of the greatest minds in the world in both business and politics, there is a lot to love about our Nation’s Capital. The underrated food scene, living near the Potomac and of course, endless landmark architecture and history. However, when residents of Washington D.C. are ready to escape from the stressful city life, many have found a tropical oasis that rivals their capital city address. Welcome to Sarasota, Florida.
1. Foodie Haven
Sure, D.C. has great crab, arguably the best in the country but Sarasota has got some serious seafood game themselves. When it comes to great food, Sarasota delivers. Sarasota is home to more than fourteen hundred restaurants from elegant gourmet eateries to fantastic food trucks. No matter what you crave, you can find it or find the fixings to prepare it. We have multiple fresh food markets, boutique/specialty grocery stores, weekly farmer’s markets, traditional butcher shops, and fresh seafood vendors (of course).
2. Big Top History Buff
Not exactly the U.S. History of the Nation’s Capital but the history of Sarasota is directly tied to the old fashioned American Dream. Home to the “Greatest Show on Earth” and John Ringling, Sarasota boasts the Ringling Museum which depicts the history and story of the Ringling Circus, including a tour of the Ca’d’Zan Mansion, Museum of Art and Circus Museum.
3. World’s Best Beaches
Nothing against the Chesapeake Bay but there is really no comparison as far as beaches are concerned. Award-winning beaches have drawn residents and visitors to Sarasota, Florida for decades. With over 40 miles of pristine coastline, Sarasota beaches are stretched out over six barrier islands along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Each coastal getaway offers a unique characteristic of Florida beauty. Common to all – the powdery white sand and warm, crystal clear waters simply can’t be beat on a sunny day.
4. Landmark Architecture
Little known fact: Sarasota, Florida is home to some of the country’s finest examples of mid-century modern architecture. You might not notice it at first—it’s not well-publicized, and often the buildings are tucked away on side streets or behind lush rows of palms. Still, they’re there, and they’ve been drawing a small but loyal stream of architectural tourists. They come to see Paul Rudolph’s 1953 Umbrella House, with its cubed structure and lemon-yellow door, or Victor Lundy’s 1958 Lutheran Church with its striking, tent-like roof and many more.
It’s fun to drive around, searching out these gems. It feels a bit like a scavenger hunt, where each clean-lined discovery is better than the next. It gives you the sense that there’s a lot to explore in this Gulf Coast town, a lot more then you may have of heard—if you’ve heard anything at all.
But if you haven’t heard much about Sarasota, you likely will soon. Not only is the city the 10th-fastest growing in the country, but its beaches are regularly listed among the nation’s best. Combine that with a charming downtown, a thriving food scene, an ever-growing list of cultural attractions (like the Sarasota Museum of Art and Marie Selby Botanical Gardens), and it’s no wonder this laid-back beach town is becoming a warm weather travel destination for arts lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
