Happy Monday Everyone!

So I have spent all weekend planted in front of my computer trying to plan my upcoming trip to Europe. I will be exploring the Alps for 7 weeks and could not be more pumped!!! While I was picking out places to go I realized something, I do the majority of my planning through Pinterest. I mean I will literally spend hours scrolling through pictures, just searching for crazy views or unique spots! I actually plan my entire trips based on locations that I want to go to. But if you really think about, isn't that why we travel to certain places? If you go to Paris, you want to find the best view of the Eiffel Tower. Or when you go to Bora Bora, you'll want the perfect water bungalow. We are always searching for the picture perfect spots around the globe!

That's when it hit me… I know all of those spots right here in Sarasota, Florida! There are so many of you fellow travelers who will be heading down to the Sunshine State, especially now during the winter months where it's too cold to go outside up North. So I wanted to put together a quick list of some of my favorite spots all around the city. For exact locations and direction, just click the little location icon under the picture you like!

Here are the 10 Most Instagramable Spots in Sarasota:

1. Turtle Beach

If you want some gorgeous sunset pictures but you don't feel like dealing with the crowd, head down to the opposite end of Siesta Key to Turtle Beach!

2. Ritz Carlton Beach Club

5. Beer Can Island

This is a little local treasure. Not only is the beach always empty but if you wander through the mangroves and bushes you will come to a hidden oasis of old trees and branches all over the beach.
