Siesta Key Beach is within walking distance of Siesta Key Village, where you'll find delightful restaurants, unique gift shops and boutiques.

Crescent Beach

Crescent Beach is south of Siesta Key Beach, but is more secluded and quiet. The beach is just as beautiful and so are the magnificent sunsets.

Point of Rocks, located at the southern end of the beach, is a perfect diving and snorkeling spot. The area is filled with colorful fish and coral rock.

Turtle Beach

Turtle Beach is a great family beach with a playground, a horseshoe pit, picnic areas and a volleyball court.

You can enjoy some great fishing in Blind Pass Lagoon.

The beach is the best Siesta Key beach for shelling or hunting shark teeth, so many beach combers can be found here, especially early in the morning.

The Village has great gift shops, boutiques, galleries and restaurants.

Dress is always casual here given the laid back lifestyle. It's a must to come out and view the sunsets, perhaps with a tropical drink in hand.
