With sandy beaches and warm, shallow waters that are perfect for kids learning how to swim, Siesta Key, Florida is a great place for families to take a vacation. The barrier island, easily accessible from Sarasota, has a laid back island vibe that you can feel immediately after stepping foot on its ground. Siesta Key doesn’t have the big resorts and chain hotels of other Florida locations, and the private home rentals and boutique hotels make it a much more personable, cozy experience, almost like staying with family or friends. Restaurants in Siesta Key keep their freezers stocked with plenty of flavors of ice cream, and most of them have pizza or other kid-friendly items on their menu.
