Siesta Key Beach

Siesta Key Beach features the whitest, finest sand in the world—99% pure quartz that stays cool to the touch and squeaks when you walk on it. The beach regularly tops "Best Beach" lists nationwide, and once you feel the powder-soft sand between your toes, you'll understand why. The gentle Gulf waters are perfect for swimming and wading, with a gradual slope that makes it ideal for children. The main beach, known as Siesta Beach, offers a large pavilion, volleyball courts, tennis courts, and a playground. Crescent Beach on the south end is quieter and equally beautiful. Point of Rocks, at the south tip of Crescent Beach, offers excellent snorkeling with colorful tropical fish.
