Siesta Key
Siesta Key is a barrier island located in Sarasota, Florida, approximately 1 hour south of Tampa, Florida and Tampa International Airport; just 25 minutes from Sarasota Bradenton Airport.
The sand on Crescent Beach, just across the way from this condo, is 99% quartz and is the world's finest, whitest sand in the world. Siesta Key Beach has been named #1 beach twice by Dr. Beach and #1 and #2 in 2022 by Tripadvisor.
Some must do's on the island while you are here is of course to visit Crescent Beach; watch a picture perfect sunset; visit Turtle Beach to the south; visit Siesta Key Village on board the free trolley on the island; rent a boat and spend the day lounging or fishing or both; kayaking; paddleboarding; take a ride on the tiki hut boat up the Intracoastal Waterway; walk to Captain Curt's for a taste of their renowned chowder; eat at one of the local seafood restaurants on the island such as Big Water; have breakfast at Toasted Mango Cafe.
Off the island, you can take a ride to Myakka River State Park and spend the day bike riding, taking an airboat ride or just exploring this fantastic state park while taking in some of the Old Florida that is reflective of our area; eat lunch at The Point restaurant on the Intracoastal Waterway in Osprey while listening to some great music or tossing beanbags for cornhole; take a trip to St. Armand's Circle for shopping and lunch and while you are there, take a walk on Lido Beach on Lido Key, another barrier island; take a trip downtown and have a cocktail at the Rooftop Lounge at the Westin Hotel.
As you can tell, there is a lot to do while you are here, not to mention taking in a show at one of the many arts venues in town.
