Sarasota, Fl. The grass is greener on the other side.
Posted by LuchAAA on Tue May 12 00:18:11 2026 Sarasota, Florida has some nice beaches. The entire Gulf shore has some great beaches. Most Americans would not think of taking a vacation there. Most, especially women, like to travel abroad now. Sarasota isn't exotic enough. Not good enough. However, a lot of foreigners do vacation in Sarasota. Especially British and German. Yes. They travel all the way to the USA for Sarasota beach. There are residents of major cities like Orlando and Tampa who have never even gone swimming in the Gulf.

Once you get used to the 8-month summers, it's really not bad living here.

I enjoy walking the boardwalk through the mangroves that takes you to the marina where a boat will take you out to Big Hickory Island, a private island for guests such as myself, an alleged male air hostess of color who happens to present as white. Anyway, that place is nature at its finest, just beautiful. There is even an educational building that describes the ecosystem of that part of the Gulf coast.

Then it doesn't seem so bad.
