While Sarasota, Florida may be known as "The Cultural Coast of Florida," that's not to say there isn't plenty of physical activity to keep you busy here.
From boating to dozens of golf courses, to hundreds of tennis courts, to our beautiful beaches, to some of the best fishing in Florida, Sarasota has whatever recreation you care to try.
With more than 80 golf courses and nearly a quarter of the residents playing-this is the place for golf. For a complete listing of public and semi-private golf courses in Sarasota and Manatee Counties visit the Sarasota Golf Guide.
