Siesta Key

Siesta Key is a picturesque barrier island located just off the coast of Sarasota, Florida, known for its stunning white-sand beaches and laid-back atmosphere. The island’s most famous feature is Siesta Key Beach, often ranked among the top beaches in the United States due to its ﬁne, powdery sand made of 99% pure quartz. The beach offers expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico, calm waters ideal for swimming, and a variety of recreational activities, from beach volleyball to paddleboarding. Siesta Key’s tropical climate makes it a popular year-round destination for both tourists and seasonal residents.

In addition to its beaches, Siesta Key boasts a vibrant village area with a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The Siesta Key Village offers a charming, pedestrian-friendly atmosphere with local boutiques, cafes, and restaurants serving up fresh seafood and island-inspired cuisine.

The village also hosts seasonal events and festivals, adding to the lively, community-oriented vibe of the island.

Despite its popularity as a tourist destination, Siesta Key retains a relaxed, small-town feel, with lush landscapes, canals, and private homes that provide a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of Sarasota.
