Those of you who miss being here in Sarasota with us, just click on the Sarasota live cam to get that Sarasota fix at any time day or night! Here is the live cam for Siesta Key Beach, the beach we always go to and where most of my sunset shots are from.
I learned this bit of trivia today from the live cam. Ever wonder where the name “Sarasota” came from? Sarasota Bay is the burial place of Sara De Soto, the daughter of Hernando De Soto, the legendary Spanish explorer. The legend holds that Chici-Okobee, the prince of the Seminole Indians, fell in love with Sara De Soto. When she fell ill and died, Chichi-Okobee asked Hernando De Soto if he could bury his beloved at the most beautiful place on the shores of Florida. De Soto agreed, and Sara De Soto’s body was laid to rest at Sarasota Bay.
