Fall in Sarasota

Sarasota might not have changing leaves, but it makes up for it with sunsets that light up the sky in brilliant reds, oranges and golds.

With warm, sunny days and cooler evenings, fall invites you to slow down and enjoy the best of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Dine al fresco at waterfront restaurants or charming downtown cafés — Sarasota’s outdoor dining scene shines this time of year. Stroll through open-air shopping districts like St. Armands Circle and University Town Center, where you’ll find boutiques, galleries and local treasures.

Golfers will love hitting the links under clear blue skies at one of our championship courses — fall weather makes it ideal for a round (or two!). And if you’re looking for other things to do outside, we’ve got options: fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, searching for sharks’ teeth or simply relaxing on our award-winning beaches.

Plan your fall getaway today and discover why Sarasota County is the perfect place to unwind, explore and soak up every last golden hour.
