Siesta Key Beach of Sarasota
Siesta Beach
Siesta Key has a youthful spirit drawn from the glassine waters and quartz-crystal white sands, which have been officially ranked as the "finest, whitest sand beach in the world."
Siesta Beach is energized ... plenty of Frisbee throwing, volleyball, jogging, beach-side tennis, biking, and picnicking. Best of all, though, is giving in to afternoon "siestas" in the sun, either swaying on comfy floats atop gentle waves or on shore near the lapping waterline.
Siesta Village is just steps away. There, you’ll find a spirited medley of different sides of Sarasota, from candlelit dining to beach boutiques and cool daiquiris.
Speaking of spirit, be sure to experience the Siesta Key Drum Circle, held every Sunday evening. Visitors become family as the spontaneous rhythm of drums, bongos, and maracas fill the evening air. Dance along or bring a chair to take in the sunset.
Point-of-Rocks seduces snorkelers with the colorful sea life within its shallow-water limestone rock formations, and while Siesta is the place to play, even more to the south, Turtle Beach is the place to unwind. Rolling waves play a soothing lullaby as you daydream or curl up in your beach chair with a great book.
