Siesta Key

A breathtaking barrier island located off the coast of Sarasota, Florida.

Welcome to Siesta Key

A breathtaking barrier island located off the coast of Sarasota, Florida. Siesta Key is renowned for its award-winning beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant island atmosphere. Whether you're seeking relaxation, outdoor adventures, or lively entertainment, Siesta Key offers a little something for everyone. Here's a neighborhood guide to help you explore the best of this stunning island.

  1. Siesta Beach: Siesta Beach, often ranked among the top beaches in the United States, is the crown jewel of Siesta Key. With its powdery, white quartz sand that stays cool even on the hottest days, this beach is a true paradise. Spend your days sunbathing, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, or taking leisurely walks along the shore. Siesta Beach offers excellent facilities, including picnic areas, volleyball courts, and concession stands. Don't forget to witness the awe-inspiring sunsets that paint the sky with vibrant hues in the evening.

  2. Crescent Beach: Located just south of Siesta Beach, Crescent Beach is another stunning stretch of coastline that showcases the island's natural beauty. With its quieter and more serene atmosphere, Crescent Beach is perfect for those seeking a more secluded beach experience. Explore the tidal pools and dunes, collect seashells, or try your hand at fishing from the shore. The southern end of Crescent Beach is home to Point of Rocks, a popular snorkeling spot known for its rich marine life and limestone formations.

  3. Siesta Key Village: Siesta Key Village is the vibrant and lively heart of the island. This quaint and walkable area offers an array of dining options, boutiques, ice cream parlors, and beachwear shops. Explore the local shops, browse through unique art galleries, and indulge in delicious seafood or international cuisine at the diverse range of restaurants. Siesta Key Village also comes alive at night, with live music, bars, and entertainment venues that offer a lively nightlife experience.

  4. Turtle Beach: Located on the southern end of Siesta Key, Turtle Beach is a hidden gem with its laid-back and unspoiled charm. This beach is known for its tranquil atmosphere and is an excellent spot for shelling and birdwatching. Take a leisurely stroll along the nature trails that wind through mangroves, or enjoy a picnic under the shaded pavilions. Turtle Beach also offers boat ramps and fishing areas for those looking to explore the surrounding waters.

  5. Point of Rocks: As mentioned earlier, Point of Rocks is a unique natural formation located at the southern tip of Crescent Beach. This area is a favorite among snorkelers and divers, as it is home to a vibrant underwater ecosystem with colorful fish, corals, and other marine life. Take your snorkeling gear and explore the shallow waters around Point of Rocks, or simply admire the beauty from the shoreline.

  6. Kayaking and Paddleboarding: Siesta Key's calm waters and stunning coastline make it a perfect destination for kayaking and paddleboarding. Rent equipment from one of the local rental shops and embark on an adventure along the coast. Paddle through the mangrove tunnels of the nearby Neville Marine Preserve, explore the scenic waterways, or join a guided tour to learn more about the area's unique ecology.

  7. Myakka River State Park: While not located directly on Siesta Key, the nearby Myakka River State Park is worth a visit. Just a short drive away, this expansive park offers an immersive experience in Florida's natural beauty. Take a thrilling airboat ride, hike or bike through the park's trails, or go wildlife spotting. Keep an eye out for alligators, various bird species, and other wildlife that call the park home.
