Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores

As you drive up US-41 toward Sarasota's Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores, you might start to wonder if you've taken a wrong turn. The houses are so big, the yards are so green and the trees are so tall that you feel like you're in a place where someone else lives—someone else with money.

 

But this is where YOU live. This is your neighborhood. And there's no better place to be.

 

Acclaimed attractions, three colleges, an international airport and Sarasota Bay views and breezes are hallmarks of this neighborhood north of downtown Sarasota. Check out colorful birds, alligators and exotic reptiles at Sarasota Jungle Gardens, then see art masterpieces inside The Ringling Museum of Art.

 

If you're looking for more culture, there's always something going on at the Asolo Theatre or Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. You can also catch a play at Florida Studio Theatre or enjoy some of the best barbeque in town at Big Daddy's BBQ & Grill right down the street.
