Located on the West Coast of
Florida, about 60 miles south of Tampa, Sarasota County consists of
573 square miles extending from the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay
to cattle ranches in the east. With more than 35 miles of
beachfront, residents are within a 15-minute drive of the
award-winning white-sand beaches.
No longer just a
tourist destination and retirement haven, Sarasota has become a
diversified community with an expanding economic base, skilled
workers and professionals, and one of the best school systems in the
state. The cultural capital of Florida, it is known for its
intoxicating cocktail of culture, from the Ringling Museum of Art,
the state museum of Florida, to its own symphony, opera and ballet.
Sarasota County
consists of Sarasota, Venice, Englewood and North Port and the
barrier islands of Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, Casey Key and
Manasota Key.
