Review:
Located on the beautiful blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Siesta Beach is known for its sand, which is made out of 99% quartz. The unique composition of the sand means it stays cool no matter how hot the sun.
The family-friendly beach has a shaded picnic area as well as a children's playground, and beach wheelchairs are available for visitors to borrow. An on-site concession stand sells drinks and snacks, and tennis and volleyball courts are also available. There are lifeguards stationed at the beach throughout the summer, and Drum Circles are often held at the beach on Sunday evenings.
