Siesta Key Beach

Siesta Key Beach – Popular among couples and families alike, this fun-filled barrier island sits off the coast of Sarasota on the Gulf of Mexico. Considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Siesta Beach features miles of white quartz sand, crystal-clear water and a lively atmosphere, with nearby dining, shopping and nighttime entertainment. The picturesque Crescent Beach, another Siesta Key standout, is ideal for travelers seeking relaxing walks on soft white sand.
