Cá d’Zan (John Ringling’s winter home), the circus museum, and an art museum are excellent and worth a visit. Reservations recommended for the on-site restaurant.

My favorite local beach. The southernmost point of Lido Key is where the Big Sarasota Pass, the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay converge. Just south, you can see Siesta Key and west: downtown Sarasota. This beach is a 15 min drive from the Casita. Has parking and restrooms but no concessions.

Check out Siesta Village and Siesta Main Beach. If Main Beach is too busy, you can drive further south to Crescent Beach.
