Western Florida's answer to the flashy Palm Beach in the East is Sarasota, an elegant town put on the map by John Ringling. Here the founder of Ringling Brothers Circus built a 2-million dollar mansion in the 1920's and started to collect artwork from all over the world. Today this area is still among the favored paradises nation-wide for retirees, offering plenty of sunshine, long sandy beaches, championship golf courses and many other attractions. The tropical barrier islands, stretching out for miles off the western coast along the Gulf of Mexico are very popular among vacationers: from high-class Longboat Key in the North, to the lively Lido Key and the more family-oriented Siesta Key in the South. All water sports, tennis, golf. Museums, concerts, theater. Many restaurants and shops. St Petersburg 34 miles, Tampa 50 miles. Fort Myers 70 miles.
