Sarasota, Florida, may not be either Disney World or Miami, but it is home to some of the worlds most beautiful beaches, as well as serviceable art museums and a fascinating marine aquarium. Its a great place to spend your next vacation. Siesta Key and Longboat Key, while pricey, have miles of award-winning beaches, along with plenty of beach activities: boating, dining, and playing. Every Saturday night, the drum circle occurs at Siesta Key. This is a gathering on the beach of musicians, poets, and drummers, and its famous in Sarasota a great thing to go to for those looking for something to do off the beaten path.
At the intersection of 41 and University Parkway sits the Classic Car Museum, a treasure trove of antique automobiles and other Americana, such as arcade games and posters. This is a great place to spend a rainy day as its mostly inside. Practically across the street from the Classic Car Museum is the Ringling Museum of Art, an ever-growing museum complex funded by circus magnate John Ringlings estate. His house, Cadzan, has recently been restored and is pen to the public.
The museum is much bigger than it looks, and the rotating exhibits change...
