top 10 Beaches

Kicking back and relaxing on a beautiful beach is great, but it's tough to sit still for very long with all the exciting activities awaiting you. The inviting waters around Sarasota offer countless ways to enjoy an afternoon or full day of activities. Get hooked on Florida fishing. Charter a boat to fish the clear, temperate Gulf waters, take a party boat, or go it on your own. Whether it's from shore or onboard one of the area's many charters, you'll find the Sarasota area a great place for the novice fisherman as well as the most skilled of anglers. You can sightfish the beautiful flats and backcountry mangroves in Sarasota, Charlotte Harbor and Tampa Bay home to some of the best game fish in Florida; snook, redfish, and speckled trout. Or take a trip to the inshore reefs of the Gulf of Mexico and fish for giant tarpon, bonito, cobia, kingfish and spanish mackerel. Though snook is seasonal, you'll find redfish, spanish mackerel, flounder, and mangrove snapper year-round.
