Manatee and Sarasota have mask mandates, dont come to the area. I dont care how much some of you like the beaches, there are others in the state in better counties. Manatee and Sarasota suck, period. I was born and raised in this area, trust me on this, there are better places.

Best to stay out of the cities near the coast in general, they tend to lean more liberal. Inland FL is more based, less population and often less BS policies.
