On Wednesday Night I was on Siesta Key beach just a little after sunset, at about 8:15, and it was beautiful. Fortunately after driving I forgot to take off my glasses when we went onto the beach, so I could view the sky clearly.
The two main objects I noticed in the sky were very bright in the southwest direction, not very far apart. While I am not 100% sure of my guess, I think they were Rigel and Sirius. Rigel is in Orion, Sirius is in Canis Major.
Another few observations I made were the moon, which was in waxing gibbous phase, and the Pleiades and the Hyades.
