Things To Do

Saint Armands Circle

St. Armands Circle is a beautiful outdoor district filled with shops and restaurants galore.

Beaches of Holmes Beach & Anna Maria Island

The beaches of Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island hold a special place in our hearts. The beaches are public access but parking has become a bit tricky in recent years. The beach at 71st street is one suggestion as it has some areas for parking, just make sure all four tires are off of the street. Pack a cooler and some beach snacks and enjoy a day on this little slice of heaven.

Jet Ski Rentals - Coastal Watersports

Jet ski rentals are an absolute blast! Book a couple days in advance as you may need to take a quick online boaters license course first.

Duffy's Tavern, Bar, and Grill

Take a trip down to our favorite beach, Anna Maria Island, and enjoy a burger and a pint at this local, cash only, favorite.

Columbia Restaurant

We love stopping here for an al fresco meal! The 1905 salad and a pitcher of sangria are always a good idea.

Siesta Key Oyster Bar

SKOB is a Siesta Key favorite and a good time for all. While you're down here, check out the entire strip of Ocean Blvd., or take a walk out to one of the many Siesta Key public beach access entrances.

Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium

The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art

Located a few miles from the Westin, the museum tours are available daily from 10:00 - 5:00 PM.
