S. Sarasota includes Siesta Key known for its white sandy beaches. Many beach accesses which are more private than the public beach (look for the small signs) and Siesta Village with shopping, restaurants, etc. A great place to walk!
Spanish point historic site Osprey, Oscar Scherer State Park and Venice are all great day trips
Check out Venice Beach & both Jetty's north & south & the Venice Pier. Venice is about 30-40 minutes away but worth the trip they also have a beach, which allows dogs - Dolphins can usually be seen at the pier at dusk. If you get a chance cruise down to Casey key, you'll enjoy the coastal views, along with its winding roadway & multi-million dollar homes
