Sarasota, Bradenton, Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key

Sarasota, Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key are located on the West Coast of Florida, with constant sunshine, over 60 miles of sugar-white, sandy beaches, a laid-back Florida feel and world class dining. This beautiful, hidden west coast of Florida suits couples (young and old), cultural seekers and families of all ages.

Explore the award winning, white sand beaches on Siesta Key, try an afternoon of "Horse Surfing" and kayaking with dolphins on Palma Sola Bay or even give the new water sport craze a go, Paddle Boarding, at Feeling Swell Surf Bar and Cafe on Anna Maria Island. Discover New York's Greenwich Village vibe and ambience in Downtown Sarasota, renowned for its bohemian atmosphere with its colourful architecture, coffee houses, eclectic restaurants, clothes boutiques and antique shops. This October will also see the second annual Ringling International Arts Festival (RIAF) coming to the area, with the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota and New York's Baryshnikov Art Centre, teaming up again to invite artists from all over the world including Mikhail Baryshnikov himself and David Neumann.

There's plenty to keep everyone occupied on a THG holiday to Florida's Gulf Coast.
