Siesta Beach, Florida, United States
4.5 (8.574 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Siesta Key Beaches • Parks
One of the top beaches on the Florida Gulf Coast
As the name suggests, Siesta Beach is a great spot for a lazy and relaxing day in the sun. Lay on its cool, white, and powdery sand, or take a dip in the crystal clear waters. The kids will love collecting the beautifully shaped shells, too. And don't about the kids—there are lifeguards on duty. While there aren't many beachside food options, you can head to the nearby cafes and oyster bars. Get a beachfront condo to make the most of your stay, or visit for the awesome sunset views on an e-bike tour of Siesta Key. There's even a Siesta Beach drum circle on some days. – Tripadvisor

Expensive vacation
We have been spending winters on Siesta Key for past 20 years and have seen the explosion of growth and traffic on the key. Months of March and April are awful for traffic and is getting worse. If you are a beach person be aware there are breezes and some gusts up to 20-30 mph almost every day during the months of January-April. The increase on rental prices also have exploded plus you pay 12.5% tax on top of the rent and this is soon to go up to 13.5%.

Absolutely stunning
White powder sand because this sand is from quartz not coral. The water has more waves and was beautiful. Parking was limited so either get here early or find a place that has offers parking and a day pass for one price. People ask is it worth the drive and yes, it is worth the drive! The three teens I drove with asked why we didn’t get a hotel in this area instead of St. Petersburg. I will be back alone
