Things to do in Osprey Village

Siesta Beach has earned a reputation of being among the most beautiful in the United States. The beach is known for its crystal-clear water and powdery white sand, made almost entirely of pure white quartz. The soft, clean sands are reflective so it’s never too hot underfoot, despite the warm Florida sun. Siesta Key’s public beach is equipped with all the amenities necessary for a full day of relaxing on the soft sands and splashing around in the clear, shallow water.

Lido Beach on Sarasota’s Lido Key is close to popular St. Armands Circle with its selection of fine stores and dining establishments. The beach extends 3,000 feet (914 meters) overlooking Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Coordinate a beach trip to coincide with a waterski show that happens on Sunday afternoons from February to May.

Nestled along the sun-kissed shores of the Gulf of Mexico lies Venice Beach, a beautiful stretch of sand for outdoor relaxation. Find your perfect spot on the shoreline, kick off your shoes and feel the warm sand between your toes, waves lapping at your feet. If you want to do more than just laze around, you’ll find lots of fun activities.

St. Armands Circle in Sarasota, Florida, is interesting and delightful to walk around practically any time of day or night. Side-by-side stores, restaurants and art galleries line the 360-degree attraction so you’ll find plenty of retail experiences and dining opportunities to fill part of a day. Stop and listen to sidewalk musicians who often entertain in parts of the circle. Go to its center where abundant lush vegetation and benches welcome you to take time out for yourself.
