Bar (no food)

Adorable Tiki Bar within walking distance (about 10-15 walk- take a route through the neighborhood rather than on tamiami trail!), legit tiki rather than 2000's tiki- this place has been around forever and retains its original charm!

You can see wild gators here! Great natural florida habitat. Its a bit inland so the trees and foliage are different than they are on the coast. Its about a 45 minute drive. Theres a little restaurant/bar there, you can take a boat tour and hopefully see gators. Also a very nice 1 mile hike w/ a canopy walk.

Amacebiso ngesixeko

Ukuhamba-hamba

Car is the most ideal way to get around

Public transportation is not Sarasotas forte.
