Siesta Key Beach - Relax on our World Famous White Sand Beach!
Our world famous Siesta Key Beach, just off the Sarasota mainland on Siesta Key Florida, consistently rates as the 2nd best beach in the state, as rated by cable-TV’s “The Travel Channel" and in May 2008 was named the nation's 3rd highest rated beach in an annual ranking of America's top 10 beaches. In 2009's annual ranking we edged up to the #2 best beach in the country. Will 2010 bring us #1 status? We'll have to wait and see, but it looks likely! One step on to our fabulous beach will confirm it's rankings and show you why it's ranked number one of all Sarasota Beaches among locals and returning seasonal residents. While its gulf beach waters are clear, aquamarine and turquoise blue, its beaches are of white, baby powder fine, soft sand. In fact the color and texture of the sand keeps it cool to the touch of your feet, even during the hottest and steamiest of our summer months.
Of all Sarasota Beaches, this one is definitely the place to see and be seen at. So make sure you
look your coolest in the latest and hottest swimsuit and beachwear!
