Off the beaten track, try the Suntan Terrace Motel on Nokomis Beach, just south of Sarasota. Not fancy at all, but right on the beach with a pool on the intercoastal side, restaurant close by. 75S to 681 to 41, less traffic than the Sarasota mess. Note that two hurricanes last year hit southwest Florida and those areas all took a beating, so beaches may not be as good as they have been historically. Checking for red tide also a great idea, as I heard there was a recent outbreak in that area.
