Siesta Key is one of the area’s largest barrier islands and provides over 40 acres of public beachfront. Whether you want to grab a burger at The Hub, stroll through the shops of Siesta Key Village, or just feel the sand between your toes on the nation’s #1 beach, Siesta Key is the place for you.
The Beach
In 2011, Siesta Beach was named ‘America’s Best Beach’ for its fine white sand, gentle waves, and overall experience. The sand on the beach is as white as sugar and consists of 99% pure crushed quartz. It’s soft and feathery beneath your feet and it’s never too hot to walk barefoot.
Amenities include public bathrooms, a picnic and concession area, tennis courts, a playground, and plenty of free parking.
Siesta Key is also home to local favorites Turtle Beach and Crescent Beach.
