Siesta Beach
If you’re short on words, “paradise” is the quickest way to
describe Siesta Beach. Sparkling Gulf of Mexico views,
powder-fine white quartz sand, balmy breezes and bright
sunlight define Sarasota’s most famous beach—most recently
ranked No. 1 beach in the United States by Dr. Beach in May
2017 and No. 1 Beach by TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice in
2015 and again in 2017.
Renovations completed in 2016 include a paved pedestrian
esplanade, 20-foot elevated concession stand, and beachthemed
playground. Check out the Siesta Beach drum circle
every Sunday at sunset for a family-friendly jam session complete
with dancing, hula-hooping and bongo drumming.
