Siesta Key Beach

Sarasota Coast
Siesta Key Beach (Siesta Beach / Siesta Key Public Beach) is Sarasota County’s famous quartz-sand Gulf park at 948 Beach Road — wide beach, big lot, restrooms, showers, picnic shelters, volleyball, and seasonal lifeguards. The sand stays cooler underfoot than most Florida beaches because it is mostly quartz. Parking is free but the lot fills early on weekends and holidays; overflow and paid options nearby fill too. Siesta Village dining is a short drive or Read more…

Lifeguards and restrooms are typically on duty in season. It is quieter than Manatee Beach or Coquina farther south, and it faces the open Gulf (unlike Bayfront Park on the bay). Come early on weekends; street and lot spots fill. Read more…
