What is the Sarasota Scoop Directory?

Sarasota Scoop Directory is built by the team behind Sarasota Scoop, a local newsletter helping Sarasota residents and visitors discover the best places to eat, shop, explore, and spend 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.

From the Sarasota Scoop

This directory is brought to you by the team behind Sarasota Scoop, a local newsletter covering the best things to do, eat, and explore in the Sarasota area. We started the directory because 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.
