Sarasota County
Sarasota County, located along Florida's Gulf Coast, features a predominantly flat terrain typical of coastal regions. The county's elevation averages around 20 feet above sea level, with its lowest areas near the coastline and slightly higher inland regions. Much of the land consists of coastal plains, wetlands, and sandy soils. The highest points in the county rarely exceed 100 feet, while some areas, such as Siesta Key, sit just a few feet above sea level. This low-lying landscape, combined with its proximity to the Gulf, makes it prone to storm surge and flooding during hurricanes and heavy rainfall. Additionally, numerous waterways and bayous intersect the terrain, further contributing to the flat and water-rich environment of the area.
