The Sarasota Scoop Directory is your insider guide to the best of Sarasota. We curate the restaurants, home services, beaches, parks, and local businesses that make this area great — so you don't have to sift through generic review sites to find what's actually worth your time.
Whether you just moved here, you're visiting for the season, or you've been a local for decades, we're here to help you discover (and rediscover) what Sarasota has to offer.
This directory is brought to you by the team behind the Sarasota Scoop, a weekly newsletter covering the best things to do, eat, and explore in the Sarasota area. We started the directory because our readers kept asking for a single place to find trusted local recommendations — and we figured nobody knows Sarasota better than the people who live here.
If you run a local business and want to be featured in the directory, submit your listing — it's free. We review every submission to make sure it's a good fit for our community.
