The best place to grab a drink. They just added another Palapa (tiki hut) Get Ritz Carlton drinks on the beach without having to be a member! Sarasota required the Ritz Carlton to keep the long time tiki hut open to the public when they purchased the land. It is a local favorite. You can also order food here - quality beachfront experience. There are a few picnic tables, but bring your own beach gear just in case they are full!
