Sunset Celebration
In Search of the Green Flash

There’s no better place in Sarasota than The Ritz-Carlton Members Beach Club to watch the sun set. Of course you can enjoy a spectacular sunset every day, but on Wednesday through Saturday, you can join a fire-side, Gulf-front gathering to celebrate nature’s most spectacular show and search for the elusive Green Flash.

Sarasota has long been known for its rich cultural and artistic history. One of Sarasota’s original masterpieces can be seen right here on Lido Beach as the setting sun paints a colorful canvas in vibrant hues that range from brilliant shades of orange, warm golden tones, softer palettes of pinks and purples, and possibly even a flash of green. Be sure to arrive at the beach at least one half hour early to appreciate the full effect of the attraction.
