Review & FAQ:

The Siesta Key boasts powder white sands made up of almost entirely of quartz and blue crystal-clear waters. The beach is a popular destination among any travellers along the state of Florida’s west coast. Each year, numerous visitors come to the tiny island to view some of the world’s best sand sculpting art during the Crystal Classic Master Sand Sculpting Competition held at Siesta Key. Lifeguards are on duty and the waters are extremely shallow, making the beach one of the safest for young children. Turtle Beach is a popular spot at the south end of the key for launching kayaks.
