Siesta Key has a youthful spirit drawn to the glassine waters and quartz-crystal
sugary white sands, which have been officially ranked as the "finest,
whitest sand beach in the world." Siesta Beach is energized ...
plenty of Frisbee throwing, volleyball, jogging, beachside tennis, biking,
and picnicking. Best of all though, is giving in to afternoon "siestas" in
the sun, either swaying on comfy floats atop gentle waves or on shore
near the lapping waterline. Just steps away is Siesta Village, a spirited
medley of all different sides of Sarasota, from candlelit dining to beach
boutiques and cool daiquiris. And speaking of spirited medley, be sure
to experience the Siesta Key Drum Circle, held almost every Sunday evening.
Visitors become one-of-the-family as the spontaneous rhythm of drums,
bongos,and maracas fill the evening air.
Point-of-Rocks seduces snorkelers with the colorful
sealife within its shallow-water limestone rock formations, and while Siesta is the place to play,
even more to the south, Turtle Beach is the place to unwind. Rolling
waves play a soothing lullaby as you daydream or curl up in your
beach chair with a great book.
