My Top Picks For You

I’m Mary Beth, the founder and editor of Sarasota and me.

Like many, I fell in love with Sarasota as a vacationer. I say “fell in love” because for many of us, it’s a love story, right? 

It started out as a beach thing. I couldn’t get enough of Lido Beach. Siesta Key soon followed. (And so did a lot of sunburns.)

As I started to feel Sarasota’s unique vibe, I ventured out of my comfort zone. I couldn’t believe what I discovered!  The arts, dining and small businesses in Sarasota are second to none. And most importantly, the people are absolutely amazing. 

Sarasota has an infectious vibe, and you have to live it to know it. There’s no other place on earth like it. And that’s what Sarasota and Me is all about.

It’s about sharing the incredible stories of a very special community. Your stories. My stories. Our stories. 

Won’t you join me?
