    Fantastic beach. The enormous amount of space and the sand are incomparable. It makes sense that it is considered to be among the world's top beaches.

    Beautiful wide beach that is clean and easy to walk on. The fine soft powder sugar type sand is heavenly to walk on. The private beaches are not as crowded as the public ones. So be warned they are crowded as this is a popular beach destination.

    Visiting from Knoxville and decided to give this beach a shot. The sand was great. Not a very wide beach but that was fine. While we were there the water was warm, bath water warm and about waste deep. There was a sand bar a short walk out, about 50 yards. A Manatee also swam by. There was even an ice cream boat that came by. Parking can be challenging. Overall thought this was a great beach.

    We went here on a Sunday morning while waiting for our breakfast table to be ready. A nice little area with good music. There wasn’t much variety of vendors, or the items weren’t super practical for tourists

    We wanted to go to Shell Beach, but could not find the public access-- if there is access, it should be better marked.

    This place is large and has many, many sweets options. They have many options of fudge, but I am not that interested. They have many candies for children (and adults with a kid’s sweet tooth) and many delicious chocolate options, as well as great ice cream. They also have alcohol flavored chocolate bars. I bought and loved a chocolate bar with Remy Martin cognac inside. I also bought some chocolate and nut covered toffee and mild chocolate almond cluster, both of which were fabulous. I also got two scoops of ice cream- praline pecan and cookies and cream- both of which were great. The server was very nice and friendly.

    Silver City is literally and figuratively a gem of a place! I wanted to get a masculine chain and cross for my husband for Father’s Day. I was immediately helped with a large and diverse collection of crosses and found perfect one. Then finding the right chain was a little harder, but when I described the man and she looked at my cross of choice she pulled out the perfect chain. He is so happy with the gift. I love Silver City Sarasota and highly recommend their professional service and selection!

    I came to Sarasota with a friend to meet up with one of our college buddies for a mini-retreat. Our Sarasota friend recommended this kayak trip, and we had about the best day ever paddling around the old shark tank, soaking up rays on a breathtaking beach, and adventuring through mangrove. Saw sooooo many beautiful birds. I'm especially grateful to Justin, who was incredibly knowledgable about the history and ecology of our surrounds. He was very friendly, professional, and helpful. Best day ever!
