Sarasota may not be as high profile as Miami or Orlando, but this Gulf Coast town still doesn't leave much time for boredom. And there's much more here than powdery white sand, turquoise seas and water sports. A fun-filled combination of magnetic beaches, must-see attractions, historical sites, outdoor recreation, tours, popular activities and off-the-beaten-path offerings, there's something for just about everyone. Here are some ideas to help get you started.
