Tropical Shores Beach Resort

Life is Much More Than Just a
Beach in Sarasota.

Known as the Cultural Capital of Florida, Sarasota offers a variety of entertainment from the circus to popular music, blues, ballet, jazz, opera and theatre. Although the circus only comes to town once a year, everything else is available year round.

The top three (most visited) attractions are: Selby Gardens; Mote Marine Laboratory; and the Ringling Museum of Art. All three venues are known internationally and offer world-class illustrations of their respective specialties. Some examples are: the orchids at Selby Gardens; the giant squid and manatees and shark tank at Mote Marine; and the collection of Rubens paintings and circus memorabilia at the Ringling Museum.

Children love G. Wiz, a marvelous hands-on science museum. A visit to the exotic Sarasota Jungle Gardens to observe tropical animals, flowers and birds should definitely be at the top of your list. There are many enjoyable boat rides that leave from Marina Jack downtown. Tourists rave about Le Barge, a two-hour narrated tour around the bay that highlights all the beautiful mansions along the water.

You will never go hungry in Sarasota. If you stayed for a year, you could enjoy a different restaurant every day. Choices of ethnic foods range from Chinese, Japanese, Thai, French, Peruvian, Cuban and, of course, Italian. Seafood restaurants with the catch of the day also abound. Even in high season, many restaurants take reservations.

For shoppers, there are marvelous boutiques and antique shops on Pineapple Avenue, magnificent art galleries on Palm Avenue, not to mention malls with familiar stores on Siesta Drive and Gulf Gate Drive. St. Armands Circle provides a unique experience with its collection of shops. For the outlet lover, we have two wonderfull malls within a fourty-five minute drive.

Enjoy your stay in Sarasota, and we hope you will return next year.
