Brunch is a beloved tradition in Sarasota—Good thing the city is packed with delicious spots to satisfy those Sunday morning cravings. 

Sunday Funday officially starts when mimosas or Aperol spritzes hit the table! From fluffy omelets to decadent waffles, savory breakfast sandwiches to sweet homemade pastries, Sarasota's brunch scene has something for everyone (even if you're not a morning person!). Whether you're looking for a casual breakfast spot or a "boujee" brunch experience, Sarasota has something for every early bird or late-riser friend group. 

Book a room block and bring the whole crew to Sarasota's happening downtown!

Sarasota is a top destination for group travel, with its vibrant cultural scene, picturesque skyline, bayfront parks and warm hospitality.

Shine a light on your love and make this one of your favorite Friday nights to remember. 

Sarasota, with its stunning sunsets and vibrant cultural scene, is the perfect destination for a romantic evening out. And what better way to ignite the spark than with a date night that leaves you both a little starry-eyed? Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just wanting to spice up your love life, these illuminated date-night spots will shed some light on your connection. 

Human ingenuity meets marine life in an environmental blend of recreation, conservation and community benefits via Sarasota's artificial reefs program.

Our crystal-clear waters and vibrant sea life remain our bread and butter. That's why Sarasota County implemented an artificial reef program that, for the last 15 years, has positively contributed to the fishing, diving and boating industries, and managed and secured the appropriate permits for the development of artificial reefs in the inshore and offshore waters of Sarasota County.
