Siesta Key Beach - Sarasota's Siesta Key Tops Best Beaches List!
Siesta Key Beach Ranks #1 Sarasota Attractions
"Siesta Key is the best beach in the whole entire world," says 54-year-old world traveler John Martin of Australia.
"Every year," Martin adds, "my wife and I visit Sarasota for this amazing beach. We've experienced beaches throughout the world. By far, Siesta Key offers the most beautiful white soft sand; it's always cool & very clean. The blue-green almost is so glassy, warm and clear."
Siesta Key appeals to all age groups:
*Kids love the water - roughly 3' deep and mostly calm as far as 100' from shore.
*Kids also enjoy digging in the sand.
*Older kids hang out near the sand volleyball courts or throw footballs and frisbees in expansive areas between Pavillion and water.
*Adults set up tents and beach chairs near the water, watching kids play and passersby stroll, jog & bike along the water's edge.

Even under the burning subtropical sun, it remains cool to the touch. Siesta Key has received many honors for its powdery white-sandy beaches including recognition as one of Americas Best Beaches," Third Best Walking Beach in the USA by USA Today International Edition, and The Best of the Best Sand by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine.
