Sarasota Bayfront Park

"At the base of Sarasota's beautiful city skyline is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, it's Sarasota Bayfront Park. This Island Park is fantastic and filled with scenic eye-candy in every direction. Bayfront is situated on an island peninsula right on the waters of Sarasota Bay. Sidewalks traverse all around the area, making this a great spot for long walks, rollerblading, and bike rides. Children will love the water fountains to splash in and the huge playground zone. You can relax on the benches and swings that line the walkways, or throw out a blanket and have a picnic. Plus they have two nice waterfront restaurants, O'Leary's Tiki Bar & Grill and Marina Jacks dockside.""At the base of Sarasota's beautiful city skyline is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, it's Sarasota Bayfront Park.
