Find Hotels Near Siesta beach Siesta Key

Siesta beach in Siesta Key is a stunning stretch of Florida coastline located just south of Sarasota. Boasting breathtakingly clear, turquoise waters and powdery-white sands, Siesta beach has been consistently voted as one of America’s best beaches. Visitors flock to this gorgeous paradise to relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy the incredible amenities that the area has to offer.

The unique sand of Siesta beach was actually dubbed "the world’s finest, whitest sand" by the University of South Florida research team due to its high quartz content. This means that on sunny days it reflects light so brilliantly that it appears almost blinding white. It also feels comfortable and cool because its tiny pieces don't retain heat like darker types of sand do. The sand is extremely soft and powdery, perfect for sinking your feet into while enjoying a leisurely stroll down the shoreline.

In addition to the picturesque views, visitors can take part in activities such as fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and standup paddleboarding. There are also nearby restaurants offering delicious seafood dishes for those who want to indulge in some local cuisine. Additionally, there are plenty of picnic tables available for guests who wish to bring their own snacks and enjoy them in a beautiful location with a view of the Gulf Coast.

Siesta beach is also very accessible from many other locations around Siesta Key including Crescent Beach, Turtle Beach and Lido Beach. Some visitors opt for boat tours since they allow you to get an up close look at some of these stunning spots along the coast line that cannot be reached any other way.

All in all, Siesta beach is one of those rare places where nature truly outshines any manmade attraction – making it an ideal spot for anyone looking for an escape from everyday life or just seeking some quiet time alone with nature!
