It wouldn't be called a fish camp if it weren't bringing in the Bay's local fish everyday. Not only do we have fresh seafood, but accompanying Southern Classics with a great Craft Beer and Wine selection. Our friendly staff strives to match the delicious food with exceptional service to assure your visit to Owen's Fish Camp is second to none.
Located in the heart of Burns Court in Downtown Sarasota, Owen's Fish Camp is an ode to old Florida living. From the looming Banyan tree out front, given to Sarasota developer Owen Burns by Thomas Edison, to the tire swing out back, it is a restaurant full of history and Southern Hospitality. Super cool!

Selva’s Nuevo Latino cuisine represents the marriage of exotic flavors from Latin America and the United States. Our special emphasis on Peruvian dishes recognizes the contribution of Asian immigrants to Peru, who deliciously fused their cuisine and techniques with that of the locals.
Selva offers innovative, intricately prepared dishes, plated and presented as works of art. We’ve earned raves from all over the world, including from the New York Times, which said Selva is “serving possibly the best food in Sarasota,” and that “everything on the menu is worth trying.”

JDub’s brewery Review on Yelp: Great brewery, right down the street from the Orioles spring training facility. Nice place to sit outside and hangout or you can play games outside like: connect 4, Jenga, corn hole, and more. Beer is very good a ton of different flavors to choose from. The bathroom was probably my favorite part of the brewery just because of all the artwork that is in there. Live Music Fridays!! and a free Yoga class Wednesday at 6:30 pm. Wow...genius!

Sarasota Jungle Gardens offers a variety of exhibits and experiences for visitors of all ages. While this institution is technically considered a zoo, as it is home to 200 distinct animals, this unique attraction offers visitors immersive and interactive experiences that go above and beyond the call of duty for a typical zoo. One of the main draws of Sarasota Jungle Gardens is that visitors can both observe and interact with many of their animal residents in addition to having the chance to experience the lush greenery of their winding jungle paths.

South Lido Park is a Sarasota County park located on Benjamin Franklin Drive. It is a waterfront park on Lido Key just north of Big Sarasota Pass. The park is located on the former land of Otto Schmidt Zoldan, a pioneer who applied for a homestead at the southern tip of Lido Key in 1904. His claim was granted in 1910 and included most of the land that is now South Lido Park.
Lido Key was originally known as Sarasota Key until the Ringling Isles development in the 1920’s when it was renamed. Established in 1974, the park features trails, picnic areas, bird-watching, kayaking, and swimming.
