Osprey

Osprey is home to the Spanish Point.  Historic Spanish Point is a Museum about the Sarasota area dating as far back as some 5,000 years ago, when the first Floridians fished and hunted for survival in the Florida wilderness. There are beautifully kept grounds and gardens, including a Butterfly Garden, a Fern Garden, a Jungle Walk and Aqueduct, The Palmer Water Garden and part of the grounds look out at Little Sarasota Bay.  Oschar Scherer State Park borders Osprey and Nokomis.  The park is located between Tamiami Trail to the west and the Legacy Trail to the east.  You can access the Legacy Trail through the park which provides access to Sarasota to the north and Venice to the south.  It connects to the Venetian waterway park continuing all the way to the gulf.
