Although Sarasota has a small harbor, it is a popular retreat place for many US politicians, affluent businessmen and Hollywood celebrities. The many high end colonial and beach houses by the sea and miles of white sand beaches makes it a much sought after place by the beach. Go to a local coffeehouse and experience the Southern Florida’s laid-back way of life. Sarasota is also a place of the arts where there are frequent plays, ballet, orchestra and other artistic performances. Every year, concerts of classical, contemporary, family and other genres of music will be organized here.
