The main attractions of Siesta Key are its three pristine beaches that span over 8 miles. The magnificent white sands of Siesta Beach make it the barrier island’s crowning jewel, while Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach are a bit more cloistered but just as beautiful.

Development of Crescent Beach in the late 1970s allowed some level of deed restriction to give private beach access to residents of condominium towers. Such is the case with the Gulf and Bay Club, a truly exclusive community within Siesta Key. A stretch of white sandy beach measuring about 800 feet is reserved to residents of the Gulf and Bay Club and their guests.

The Gulf and Bay Club is a gated community that goes the extra mile to ensure that both guests and residents are not only safe, but also luxuriously comfortable and entertained. The Gulf and Bay Club is an imposing neighborhood that houses 391 two and three-bedroom units ranging from the mid $700Ks to $850K. Striking views of the Gulf of Mexico are visible from most units.

The large portion of private beach isn’t the only amenity for residents of the Gulf and Bay Club. Three heated swimming pools and two freshwater lakes form part of the impressive residential complex. Seven tennis courts and a fitness center are just some of the fitness options available. Walking and jogging around the complex and the private beach during a sunset can be uplifting. Sauna rooms and a hot tub round up the choices for exercise and relaxation.

For everyday needs, the convenient Siesta Key shopping centers Crescent Plaza and Siesta Key Village are located just a short distance away from the gates of the Gulf and Bay Club.
