Sarasota, Florida - Longboat, Lido, and St Armands Key 

Thank you for sharing! 5:56 = old footage. Sarasota’s Bay Park project exists there, now.

What a Great production. I lived in Sarasota from 1997 to 2002 , and loved every minute of it! This brought back some great memories. Thank you for a well presented video of a fantastic city.

Perfect timing as I will be visiting Sarasota next month 👍

Thank you! Just finished my morning walk in Sarasota downtown:)))))

Stayed near Nathan Benderson park last March into early April. Would love to ride the Legacy trail when we get our bikes to Sarasota. Friends live in the mennonite neighborhood near Bahia Vista. Will try Yoder's. Great video with real life recommendations, esp the restaurants. Mattison's is good.

Love your videos 😊

I LOVE SARASOTA

Hi Randy, as you know I'm from Brasil, and my first fisit to Florida was in 1987 I was 12 years old. Now I'm 47, I love US and since I was a kidmy father speaks about USA as the land of opportunity. I had a chance to live in Michigan once because I went to High School in Grand Rapids in 1994 and than to Community College but I had to come bat to Brazil. I was wondering if we could work together, because I work with Video editing, love to do this and, I'm going to Tampa next week Jan 22 spend a week to buy new equipament ( new drone, and camera ) and I would like to meet you. I want to start a new channel on RU-vid or maybe work on yours.

Nope, not for me. Yes, it's a beautiful place. Lived here for 20 years. from NYC. but it's getting $$$ like NYC and getting over crowed. I am leaving at the end of 2023 and going west to be close to nature. Not to mention the hurricanes in Florida. That's costly by Florida.

don't move here.. its overcrowded, expensive, and hurricanes are out of control

Sarasota is one of the best places on earth. I’ve lived in hawaii and sw Florida is better I think.

I hope you never stop making these beautiful Florida videos 🌴💖 Thank you for bringing the beauty of Florida to those of us who've moved away and miss our home state! I find such comfort in your channel 😄

Your videos are impeccably perfect. The time you put in does not go unnoticed.

The pronunciation of C’Est La Vie restaurant is the funniest thing I’ve heard in years

We bought a couple properties in 34237. One to live in and one as an Airbnb and could not be happier. Almost making enough money on the Airbnb to pay both mortgages. Close to downtown, Lido, Longboat and Siesta.

Florida is all about nature.

Awesome video! Your productions just keep getting better. Sarasota & area keys are now our #1 vacation priority after watching this video. Hi Bella!

Whoa, that shot at starting at 17:29, stellar looking. Really makes me wish I was there. Amazing work overall as usual. The best I can describe Florida at times is that it has such great "color." The blue skies, splotches of green grass, and paints on buildings, you do a great job of capturing it. When I talked to people who live in Florida, I think they become desensitized to that visual sensation.

Thank you for the Florida eye candy. It's my happy place. You are so creative with the way you present things, capture unique shots, and keep things entertaining and even heart-warming while giving so much great info. I've spent time at Myakka River State Park and explored the areas you are in here. I love the garden and Turtle Beach! The last time I was there I didn't have my pup, so I am extra interested in the dog-friendly tips you give. The 'relaxing' video you mentioned sounds nice. Peace & Prayers.

Floridian for life currently live in Sarasota and one of my favorite beaches is longboat key.

Greetings, friend... good travel vlog. Sarasota is amazing...!!!

Always worth watching every second of your videos. Keep up the good work! 🙏🏻

Randy needs more followers and supporters, he really gives us all we need to plan a vacation without the cost of a travel agent! We should all give a $Super Thanks every once in awhile when we can, it can be as little as $2 and he could really use it to keep bringing us these awesome videos to help us plan our next Adventures!

Watching From Barbados🇧🇧

Easy to understand and stunning views in this presentation! A great place to live!!

We head down in a week to that beautiful paradise! This will be our third visit. Thanks for the beautiful video reminding us of some öf our favorite places and showing us some hidden gems we will definitely make a point to visit!

Thank You for The Most Beautiful Video of Sarasota, Florida❤ I shared it with family and Friends in Europe. I have seen many other videos of Sarasota, but none had really showed to my satisfaction, Tge Beauty of this Gorgeous City! Thank You so much! You did it Justice! ❤❤❤

Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always, I love all your videos, I was in Florida last week and really enjoyed kisseme and Orlando 👍

Excellent for my next Sarasota vacation

Great stuff, Randy. This is my "neighborhood", but I really loved watching the video nonetheless. So that's where they moved the "Unconditional Surrender"?! Again, excellent work! PS I took my profile pic sailing at sunset on Longboat Pass about a year ago.

You need to promote Hanna to Production Assistant

Amazing video as always. Can't wait for the next one 🙂

Nice video

Thank you for the beautiful video!

Great video only thing I think you missed was "The Bay" the new park where the Van Wezel theater is.

I’ve wanted to move there for years. My top pick in Florida will always be Sarasota!

Enjoyed your video but you never mentioned birding or Save Our Seabirds that is right next to Mote.

Another great video!!! Love this area so much! Thanks for letting us know about Yoeder’s Amish Village!

Great video. Love this area. Visited last summer and am planning a trip back this summer. Definitely could live in Sarasota. Such a beautiful area.

Amazing video!!!

Awesome videos! I don’t mean to be negative, but does anyone know what areas of Sarasota to avoid? We want to move from Massachusetts. Thanks!

What a great asset you are to the RU-vid channel. These videos will be cherished forever amongst the planet earth lovers. Please keep sending us many more sensational videos like this one. I hope Google realises the importance of driving tours. drone tours and walking tours. These videos entice the traveler to discover new areas to explore. Especially when you take us through all the wonderful scenic roads. It gives us all a great opportunity to observe the authentic way of life and charming architecture. Thank you for addressing to us the name of each place throughout the trip. It really shows the amount of work and effort you have put into this video. So professional and helpful. Mill gracias!!!

I love video ❤️ Thank you so much !

Was just at Ringling last week; it’s a must visit if you’re a history buff. Sarasota’s awesome. Great work Randy

Only thoughts i have , i loved this thank you!!

I adore these I laugh I learn I LOVE HOW CRZITIBCAL!!@@!!!!!!! off the tarmac like a Frisbee leaking glow stick juice Lite Brite making things that lite I bet gumby would totally want skaterboy to play with the gumbys There's an episode where the gumbys are playing a gig and the yellow dinosaur guy he plays a flute or something it breaks all the windows glasses yeah like the lady breaking the glass and they have to RUN They 🎉could have gotten help by skater boy give the fuzz the slip and gumby can go into any book with his pony pal pokey too if you got a heart gumbys a part of you ooo ooo...GUMBY Yeah to hide skaterboy has to chew gumby who is probably spearmint maybe lime? What if it's like skaterboy is who created gumby he was just clay wow I hear pluggity pluggins talks about meeting skaterboy and he gives that experience credit for helping him find a real estate agent who put his mom on the cruise lines biggest bemoth boat and she has her own show after bingo on Sunday but wait she calls bingo on Sunday night and you know first class skaterboy put the man in maneuver the lime in the coconut and will give you a bad case of loving you Can you think of a more enigmatic person to hang out around and there is so much value in taking that effort to train your best friend But this is such versatile content over and above expectations

very nice video, there are many things to visit in florida. Thanks to your videos, we are having a good time. Good continuation and thank you very much dear Randy for all this information, especially the editing which takes a lot of time.

This area is a jem. I'm enjoying every day and recommend to everyone. O.,St,Armand key,Bird key,Longboat key and white downtown of Sarasota very pleasant view on bays and ocean,s side ,worth to visit., Expensive......ofcouse...

You always do such a great job on your videos. I tell my friends and coworkers to check out your channel.

To hot, to crowed, to expensive

amazing beautiful area, great video as usual!

I worked on longboat key for 20 years. I'm now in Reno in the snow. Lol

Thank you thank you so much for these beautiful videos especially when I watch these videos from Michigan. God bless you brother keep doing what you're doing. 👍🏻🙏🏻

LOVE SARASOTA!! Will be moving back very soon. Can't wait! 🥰

C'est la vie...is NOT See-Ehst la vie...it is ˌsā lä ˈvē...as in say. It means "such is life" or "that's life".

Anyone watching this video please don’t plan on vacationing in Sarasota the prices are insane the traffic is ridiculous. The snow birds are in season(northerners who are babies about snow) elderly citizens everywhere around every corner with a complaint at the tip of their mouth. Go to Tampa Orlando or Miami. There’s much better. Sarasota hides its truth on 301MLK and newtown a lot of drugs violence shootings that the news and pd suppresses for tourism

You gotta mention Sattimi's Italian gelato on St. Armand's circle in Lido Key. By far the best and most reasonably priced gelato anywhere in Sarasota area.

Now I'm watching it again to catch what I missed when I was commenting on the live show! And then I always save your videos in a travel file on my RU-vid channel

As someone who was born in Florida PLEASE stop moving here! well atleast go to Miami or smth cause sarasota is full .

Sarasota is Beautiful my favorite city in Florida and I’m from Daytona Beach 🙄

Awesome video! Great !!!!!

Beautiful Sarasota view. Enjoyed this this so much. Nice sharing my friend.

Another great video, love it!

Burns court is a nice little area in downtown. little known hideaway movie theater and a few restaurants... don't tell anyone ;)

Awesome to see your videos, thanks for them and keep up the good work!

WHO is doing this?

Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing. So informative!

It seems that everywhere in Florida is beautiful and spectacular. One thing that I noticed about the mentioned park lake, the Nathan Benderson Park, with the 400 acre lake that is a perfect oval shape. It would be ideal to make a "water-skiing cable park" that runs around the outside, pulling the people on a cable, as they water-ski. It would not cost too much $??, and the profits spectacular, as they could charge some $60-$70 for a few hours or so. There could also be other locales. I went to a similar "cable water-skiing park" in Thailand, it was a good entertaining "past-time" to do, and the cost over there was some $300 baht (about $10) for an hour or two. The thing that sticks-out in my mind, when I went to that water skiing park, a few times, as I was living there for a while. I usually have "VERY GOOD BALANCE", and even though I had never water-skied before, the first few times trying it I was falling off very, very easy.............................., which at that time, I passed off as just being "new" to it, and not being used to water-skiing, but nowadays with far greater knowledge, with better insight, and through hindsight, I can know for sure, that I was being poisoned, with "foods & drinks", knocking my usual excellent "balance" off it's equilibrium. What happened, THE DREADED DROOPY was "administered" very sneakily, and underhanded, as I was "surprised" at falling off easily, that happened a few times, after that I "adjusted" and could stay on my feet a bit longer, but still not very good, a little bewildering. After that, we went to play a game of tennis, which years earlier could play reasonably well, you know, get the ball back over the net, play some rallies, now my "touch" and balls was out, playing like a "spastic" (I'm not sure if that's P.C?) Co-ordination, Reflexes, Reactions etc, all over the place, why?? Again like "skiing", although I did not know at the time (I thought I was playing very badly because I had not played for so long).......................... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IT WAS THE DROOPY ONCE AGAIN....WHAT TO DO? MONITOR YOUR C.R.R COMPARED TO OTHER TIMES, IF SOMETHING IS "OUT" - YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE BEING SLOWLY POISONED, AND WHEN YOU KNOW, BACKTRACK YOUR EVERY MOVE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ABOVE MENTIONED POISONING IS "EASTMAL TACTICS" THROUGH-AND-THROUGH, IT'S THEIR SHIT-HOUSE RELIGION, THEY LIVE & BREATHE "FUCKING-UP" THE WHITE EUROPEAN MALES. ALSO WATCH-OUT FOR MOTORBIKE "TRIPS" WHILE ON DROOPY, AS "CAREFULLY PLACED GRAVEL ON THE ROAD", CAN BRING YOU UNSTUCK, WITH HOSPITAL TRIPS LOOMING. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I live here lol idk why I’m watching this 🤣

Please also mention the Southside Village please :)

25 foot statue is a reminder of ME TOO movement 😁

Your voice and the info is great...you inspire me to film. Take care..stay healthy, thcau

Another great video. Thanks for all you do to highlight the beauty and diversity of our state. Sarasota is definitely one of our gems. 🥰

Excellent video! Very informational and professional. Thank you.

I'm Resident of Sarasota.

You do a fantastic job! I was in the Longboat Key area in May, I wish I would have seen your video before I went. So much information, I couldn’t believe it!!

Believe me. When I win the UK National lottery. My first port of call will be Sarasota. It looks an absolutely amazing place to live. Fingers crossed for me please.

Randy long sub and always enjoy your episodes. A request, will you consider bringing your channel to Rumble too? Not happy with YT for many reasons so ultilize Rumble. Tks

Good morning Tampa arrow media. Hey this is marc from Ohio watching your video of Sarasota. You’re bringing back more memories are used to go through that area when I was younger about 40 years ago with mom, which by the way she passed away in December 2022 but you know if she were still alive today this is just bringing back memories for her. There’s just something about Florida in general. I grew up and lived in Tampa I was born in Ocala so I’m a Florida native, but there’s just something about Florida. It has a whole Nother feeling about it that no other state has and every time I watch a video it just reminds me I miss home but you know my home is not down there even though I call Florida my home I guess home is just where your heart is and is contradicting as this sounds my heart is in Florida and so therefore I need to go back, but I have no one to go back to that makes any sense so, an oxymoron I want to be there because I love it but I have nowhere to go to to enjoy it with, but I just still want to thank you for your videos because I love watching them and it’s just as good as being there anyway take care

This video's you post I've thought are an art form and you narrate them perfectly. Thanks, TampaAerialMedia

As a sarasota resident I can attest to the beauty. Unfortunately EVERYTHING is so dang expensive 😢

Vary well detailed video, thank you for producing this masterpeice of art on this beautiful city, sarasota, loved it there

Sarasota is: crowded, over-populated, traffic nightmare, overpriced, no parking...other than that its a nice place

Great job filming and editing this. Lots of work, I’m sure. Thank you.

Thanks for this awesome tour of Sarasota, Florida. Looks like a great place to vacation. Very informative tour.

Nice overview. Thanks for filming my area too (UTC/around NBP)

Hats off to you on a perfectly done video ....... looking forward to the move.

6:30. The idiot driving the white car in the inside lane of the traffic circle is the reason people hate traffic circles. Completely violates traffic law, cuts the vehicle in the outside lane off and if there were more traffic probably would have caused a collision. They would work great if people understood how to drive.

Love the video, great voice. Glad came across this channel today. Subscribed!

As always, just a fantastic video of my hometown!

Beautiful place and your video is just great !Thank you!!

Thank you for making these videos. I truly enjoy watching them !

Looking forward to visiting.

We will,always love Sarasota for ever

Very well done. As an ex Californian, Sarasota is very much like San Diego/Laguna but with humidity and alligators.

Good job Randy, you covered many of the main attractions well!

*get that feeeces out of my faaaace*

💖👍🏼

Awesome video! I really enjoy all the videos you make!

I stopped at the whistle
