A good plan B is to stay at a shady Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou state park site, then drive to Henderson Beach state park to go to the beach. You will be able to get into Henderson for free by showing them your pass for Rocky Bayou.
That's about 500 miles from Sarasota !
To the OP... you didn't state the size of your rig, but if you are 30 ft or less, look into Turtle Beach... it's right on the beach in Sarasota very small park with just a few sites. Another place we like in the area is Camp Venice. It's a nice CG in a rustic area and not to bad of a drive to Venice Beach
