Siesta Key

Need a great beach to get away to this weekend? Siesta Key Beach is the ultimate beach lovers destination.

About a 30 minute drive south on Rt 41 from the city of Sarasota, and your feet will be in the softest sand you have ever felt. The pure white sand feels more like flour and never gets hot, even on the worst of days. The water is clear enough that even when it is up to your shoulders you will still be able to see your feet and all the small fish swimming around you. During the summer at low tide, small sand bars pop up that you can swim out to and have a place to store your cooler of beer so that you never have to get out of the water.

In the small strip of stores on your way to the beach, you can find anything you need. Salty Dog is one of the most popular eateries in this strip. If you have kids with you, they'll be thrilled to know that their food is served in a dog bowl! If it is souvenirs that you are looking to find to take home with you, the Beach Bazaar is the perfect stop. From bikinis, to sandals, to sharks teeth and shells, the Beach Bazaar has everything and anything that you could possibly be looking for.

There are many hotels and houses that you can rent on Siesta Key that are right off the beach as well. So if you decide to come for just the weekend or spend a whole week, this is one beach that you definitely will not want to miss coming to!
