An ideal day on Lido is spent totally on the seaside, however you should depart room to stroll over to St. Armands Circle for the infinite procuring and eating choices.

All you need to do is take the bridge over to downtown Sarasota and head as much as a rooftop for drinks and a view of the island. It is actually an ideal vacation spot, and penning this all out makes me wish to head again ASAP.
