Considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Siesta Beach on the Florida's Siesta Key is an 8-mile long paradise for visitors big and small.
The huge expanse of sparkling white quartz sand stretches for miles and is cool underfoot even on the hottest days, firing up the imagination and inspiring kids to make some impressive sand castles.
The turquoise water is fairly shallow and warm and there are very seldom any waves, making the beach perfect for the kids. There are lifeguards on duty as well as plenty of showers and restrooms.
The charming little town has plenty of nice restaurants offering famous grouper sandwiches and cold drinks.
