Why March Is The Best Month To Visit Sarasota

Sarasota is wonderful all year long, with its agreeable year-round climate and its charming coastal setting. But in March, there really is something special in the city. Afternoon temps hit the high 70s and sometimes 80 degrees. Sarasota afternoons become crisp, delightful evenings. There’s even an occasional chilly morning in March.

Music and art festivals return to Sarasota’s parks and streets in March, spring breakers invade the beaches, and the Baltimore Orioles even drop by for a few spring training games. The 33rd Annual Sarasota Jazz Festival returns March 3rd through 10th, with performances at various area venues. The 10th Annual Sarasota Folk & Acoustic Music Festival is March 23rd and 24th at Oscar Scherer State Park. The festival features folk, bluegrass, blues, and country performers from across Florida.

But springtime in Sarasota means only one thing for countless residents and many visitors too: Major League Baseball at Ed Smith Stadium. The Baltimore Orioles will play 18 exhibition games at Ed Smith in February and March, beginning February 23rd with the Minnesota Twins.


Sarasota Beach


In Sarasota, March means plenty of opportunities for boating, fishing, golf, tennis, and almost every outdoor recreation that doesn’t require snow. Enjoy windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba, and more. If it's deep-sea fishing you enjoy, you're only minutes from the challenging open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Ample rentals and charters are available. If golf is your enthusiasm, Sarasota is at the hub of Florida’s golf country. You're minutes from the Concession Golf Club, the Legacy Golf Club, the Sarasota Ritz-Carlton Members Club, TPC Prestancia, and a dozen more venerable and historic country clubs and courses.

Take a look at some of Sarasota’s homes and neighborhoods while you enjoy the beaches and recreations in Sarasota this spring. Sarasota is a superlative location for buyers looking to invest, relocate, or retire. Potential homebuyers who have been sitting on the fence are buying right now. With borrowing rates still at all-time historic lows, these buyers think it's time to buy before prices rise and available inventory declines. And they’re buying in Sarasota.

Golf, the beaches, fishing and water sports, world-class shopping, culture, and superlative dining: all the best of southwest Florida is yours from Sarasota. Many of the city’s former visitors become its new residents, so be sure to check out some of the charming neighborhoods and luxury homes if you're in Sarasota this spring. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
