Siesta Key is famous for its sparkling white beaches and is known worldwide for having the “world’s whitest sand”. The beaches are composed of 99% crystal quartz which keeps the sand cool and comfortable even in the summer. In 2010, the area’s beach was named by Dr. Beach as the #2 “Best Beach in America”. Beaches that are awarded this distinction are judged against a number of criteria, including safety, sand and water quality. I can attest the Siesta Key beaches are beautiful and the Siesta Key homes for sale are too.
Turtle Beach is located at the southern tip of Siesta Key. It is beautiful, relaxing and quiet – perfect for a picnic or to enjoy an afternoon of reading while basking in the warm sun. Along the west side of the barrier island, starting at the Siesta Key’s south tip and continuing until the northern end of Casey Key, is the Palmer Point Beach. The size of this beach will give you a wonderful sense of seclusion and privacy and it is perfect for a long walk. If you’d like a bit of action, the Siesta Public Beach is the place to go. Located mid-island, it’s the county’s most popular beach. It features plenty of activities such as volleyball nets, concession stands, grill areas and even tennis courts. It’s the perfect place to swim, since there are lifeguards year-round. You’ll find the intracoastal waterway along the east side of the island, which is a great area for boating or enjoying the natural beauty of the area’s many mangrove forests.
