From walking, and biking to stunning sunsets every day, The Bay has something for everyone.

Take a Walk

Did you know that The Bay was listed as one of the best walks in town?

That’s right! The Mangrove Bayou Walkway was voted Best New Walk in Sarasota Magazine’s Best of Sarasota 2021: Outdoor Experiences.

The walkway is an ADA-accessible, half-mile-long nature trail that winds through the natural beauty of The Bay’s mangroves, native plants, and waters. Come for a sunset stroll, take a tranquil moment by the water, or practice spotting the hidden wildlife living in the Florida-friendly flowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees.

Watch the Sunset

The Bay is one of the most popular spots in town to catch one of our beautiful Sarasota Sunsets. So grab a friend, take a breezy sunset stroll, pull up a chair or have a seat right on the lawn as you take in the natural beauty of The Bay.

Here’s a look back at some sunsets that were captured at The Bay. You can capture the magic at The Bay by hashtagging #thebaysarasota. Not on social media? Just send your photo in to [email protected]
