Crescent Beach on Siesta Key - Where the Sand is Just Steps From Your Door!
Siesta Key’s Crescent Beach has the same white powdery soft sand as Siesta Key Public Beach, but here the beach is densely lined with Condos and other rental units for those who would like to stay right at the beach for a week, a month, a season, or for life!
What could be better than walking out the door of your condo or hotel and being just steps away from one of the most beautiful of all Gulf of Mexico Beaches?
The best access to this beach is from a Condo or motel rental on the beach, or, if you like long strolls on the beach, it's about a 2 mile walk south from Siesta Key Beach. But part of the fun of a “beach vacation” is strolling the beaches, right?
Tip: Most times of the year the Florida sun is very intense. Don't forget some protective, but cool looking shades in case the rays get mean while you're on Crescent Beach.
Here's a great place to find really cool sunglasses.
This beach is very popular and usually filled with vacationers sprawled across the white powdery sand. You’ll also find jet skiers, para sailing and canoes and kayaks all out on the water.
At the very south end of the strand, you’ll find what is known as “Point of Rocks,” one of the Sarasota area’s most popular snorkeling spots due to the coral rock formations, marine life and relatively shallow water. You’ll also find kayaks and fishermen nearby "Point of Rocks."
A picturesque beach, with the Gulf of Mexico gently rolling its way to shore and having the same world famous white sand as Siesta Key Beach, there's plenty of room for you and your beach chair. But there are no public facilities, life guards or amenities here, since it caters mostly to those who are renting and living right at the beach. Tip: Here's where you can get your fun stuff for the beach from flip-flops to suntan lotion as well as swimsuits and
cool and relaxing beachwear.
Directions: Take Rt. 41 in Sarasota to west over the Stickney Point Bridge. At Midnight Pass Road turn left and look for a small public access parking lot on the right side of the street. If the lot is full, double back and head north on Midnight Pass Road to Siesta Key Public Beach where there’s a large, free public parking lot. Then head out to the shore and wade your way south to Crescent Beach.
Return from Crescent Beach to Sarasota Beaches.
