The main Siesta Key Beach is about 6 miles long and home to a variety of wild life and a popular spot for dolphin watching. Once declared the "finest white sand in the world," it's composition of 99% quartz, makes the sand extremely reflective, and rarely feels hot underfoot - an unusual trait for a Florida beach. In addition to the sand and the sun, Siesta Beach also features ball fields, a soccer field, beach volleyball courts, a 20 station fitness trail and playground, and rest rooms.

Along with Siesta Beach, residents also frequent Turtle Beach and Palmer Point at the south end of town, and Point of Rocks to the west.

Shopping in Siesta Village and the commercial district further south, also offer a choice of numerous restaurants, bars and specialty boutiques. Take a tour of Siesta Village by watching our video below!
