Cool if your in Sarasota if you want go to Saint Armands a tourist attraction then go towards Long Boat Key a nice ride into Bradenton beach and Ann Marie Island. At Ann Marie Island there is a restaurant on a pier forgot the name
I know Sarasota well since it is my area.
In Venice there is a beach called Caspersan Beach My favorite you will see what I mean if you go.
Thanks for the tip, have a few things to take care of in Sarasota first then will take your advice for a visit. Was going to head over to the big lake and work my way back North to Haines City where I have my Trailer parked year around for when I come to Fl. I spend about 6 months a year here now.
