Walking on Siesta Beach

The sands of Siesta Beach, on Siesta Key, in Sarasota FL, are 99% pure crystal. They are world-renowned for their soft, powdery texture.

Every day, Siesta Beach is groomed, to fluff up the sand for another round of beachgoers.


In contrast to beaches in other parts of the country, Siesta Beach parking is free and public, so everyone has access, via 10 different entry points.
















People of all ages enjoy walking along the blue-green surf, swimming, building sand sculptures, picnicking, riding their bikes, or quietly napping or reading a book.














In recent years, the small-scale wooden beach cottages that used to line Beach Road have been replaced by 3-4 story beach mansions in some places.
Siesta Village is an easy walk from any of the beach access points. Once you've had your fill of sand and surf, you can amble over for a meal at the numerous cafes and restaurants, stock up on basics at Siesta Key Market, or shop for beachwear, jewelry, and gifts in Village stores.
