Couple walking on Siesta Key Beach Siesta Key offers vacationers and locals the finest white sand beaches in North America. Voted the Best Overall in 1987 in an International Sand Contest and the Best Sand Beach in America by the Travel Channel in 2008, Siesta Key’s world famous beaches are the perfect place to spend a romantic weekend or long relaxing vacation.

Siesta Key is an eight mile long island just east of Sarasota, Florida which is comprised by three beautiful public beaches, Siesta Beach, Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach. Siesta Beach boasts 99% pure quartz white sand beaches that feel soft and cool to the touch even on the hottest of summer afternoons.

Crescent Beach whose name is derived from the shape of the beach is a wonderful white sand beach much of which is accessible only by foot because of limited parking and access.

The more private Turtle Beach is the perfect place for that long planned family reunion with its picnic area and white sandy beach where the shore line is a great place to find shells and ancient shark’s teeth.

The beach is not the only activity on Siesta Key. Parasailing, boat rentals, deep sea fishing are only a few of the great tropical activities available. Siesta Key is also home to a variety of stores and shops that range from fine jewelry and clothing to your basic surf shop. Stop by our Things to Do page and Shopping Page for more information.
