It's a peaceful place with soft and white sand . I recommend to go here at sunset , because last time I saw a dolphin swimming close to the shore.If you want you can bring chairs and enjoy nature fully

The best beach I've ever been to. White soft sand , clear water with perfect temperature and seagulls flying around. It's magical.. Pay it a visit whenever you're in FL

Faraz Ahmed

Hands down the best beach I have ever seen in my life. Clean water, good service and less crowd - this is the beach to go to in Florida. Kinda disappointed at the lack of variety of food served there.

Christy May

THIS IS THE BEST BEACH IN THE WORLD! The weather is always balmy breezy , There are awesome restaurants a beach walk away. The sand doesn't ever burn your feet. And they just added new parking !

The Ritz-Carlton

The recently opened Siesta Beach has been rated the #1 beach in the country ! If you're looking for fun in the sun-a day amongst the fine white sand and bright blue waters at this oasis cannot be beat.

Kevin Dudley

This is the best beach ! I love being able to walk on the sand without scorching or tearing up my feet.

Social News Network

Named the top beach in America for many years, Siesta Key features powder-like white quartz sand and a crystal blue coastline. Mediterranean-like weather too. Great venue for family vacations.

Beautiful white sand , the ocean is an amazing color, the people are nice, and no matter the season you always find parking .. Plus is just a drive away from lunar starburst hookah & siesta village

Lynn Selby

The white soft cool sand. This beach is beautiful. Very wide so be prepared to walk to find a spot near the water. It's usually pretty busy.

Natasha Lueders Graf

Amazing cool sand. The color of the water is so beautiful, no waves and a place where you can park your car and take a shower afterwards. What else could you ask for?

Kim Davis

New pavilion is fabulous, more parking . The #2 Beach in the United States is not to be missed! Gorgeous sweeping views of gulf and crystal white sand . Drum circle every Sunday at sunset !

Lynda Judevine Leslie

Beautiful white sand ! Clean beach with ample parking . Restrooms are clean and there is a snack bar . There's a reason this beach is ranked #1 and it's true!!

Keshia Solem

The sand is wonderful, almost like powdered sugar . Be prepared to have it EVERYWHERE. Totally worth it though. Also, watch out for the sea gulls...they're dangerous if you have food...

Camilla

Voted #1 beach in the US! The sand!! It feels like you're walking on powdered sugar !! Looooove this beach , only downside is that it is very difficult to get a parking space .

Maggie McGinnis

The sugar sand. Great shells and small shark teeth too. Restaurants can be pricy . Back in Sarasota head for Amish area near Bahia VistaTrl, look for Amish restaurant that does the best food.

Jessica Rolón

Beautiful beaches , water. Very friendly people and atmosphere. Great place for fishing or just watching dolphins in the ocean while relaxing on the auger white sand beach

Kevin Mullett

Make sure to hit the Drum Circle Sunday evenings, one hour before sunset at the Public Beach . The Village , North end of Siesta Key, has many restaurants and shops.

Linda

On your way to and from Siesta Key stop by Paradise Pops for your all-natural gourmet popsicle fix. Made in house with fresh from Florida ingredients. Great place for kids & adults. 3604 S Osprey Ave.

Jan Sundström

Finest sand in the world. Make sure you time the sunset . Great for sea shells too, I actually found better shells here than on Sanibel Island .

Backpacker Mike

Best beach by far! Stay in the siesta key village the Beach club is great for night life. The best with that key west feel and great food is skobs! Siesta Key Oyster Bar . Best place on the key!

Angie Milton

Lovely laid back place . Has a sand bar that allows you to go pretty far out and the waves hit the bar first.

Kaylin Cooper

Voted best beach in America for a reason, white sand as soft as baby powder and crystal clear water. You will find that sand everywhere for days, but worth it!

Honza Zhejbal

Very nice place for relax and fun. Spacious beach with many activities. Highly recommend!

Joe Winn

Wish it had been a bit less crowded , but still beautiful. Soft white sand , graceful shallows, and plenty of space to stretch out. Make it a day and bring a beach tent!

Sarasota Accident Doctor

I love this place. Sand and water are sublime. Great place to congregate for family and friends.

Dave G

This is a gorgeous FL beach . No doubt about it. But it is NOT the best beach in FL. Gulf Islands National Seashore as well as Captiva Island are higher on my list.

John Smoke

Great beach , we love it so much my best friend was married at My rental on siesta key at Harbor Towers SarasotaSupport Com

Aly Taylor

parking : come around 1:00 - all the old folks are leaving and you can stalk spots pretty easily. If you get really desperate park at the church around the corner for a small ($2-5) donation and walk!

Celeste Hope

The sand truly feels as amazing as everyone says. It's so soft & fine! Be ready for a crowd. Shallow area, great for kids. Water is relatively calm .

David Culver

White sand beach that feels like flour on your toes. Beautiful aqua colored water, great people watching , etc. natural sea life about (dolphins, sting rays, etc)

Rita Valois

One of the nicest beaches in the US with white quartz sand that doesn't get hot! Watch for dolphins right off shore and occasional manatees...

Pj M

Voted #1 Beach ! And it is! Soft white sand . Lots of shells. Drum Circle is a have to!

William Kress

This is the best beach in the world as far as I'm concerned! The drummer circle was so awesome last night. Such a shame I have to go back home to Pittsburgh tomorrow: -(

Janelle Irons

Powder fine sand and beautiful water. Picnic benches in shaded areas made it the perfect place for a day. Free parking was a plus.

Ronnie Van Zant

I love living here, and the beach is amazing! Try and stay away from the public beach and head south a little. Much less people. :)

Cristian Löfvall

The best beach I've ever been to. Make sure to park close to some of the multi-shower-poles!

Valvetta McGee-Hudson

This Beach is so popular of the USA.It is so beautiful and attractive beach .I like this beach

J Nicole Alford

Beautiful beach of white sand . Too bad they were having problems with red tide.

Adam Deleo

The sand its all about the sand so soft and fluffy….it does not get hot!!!!

Christina Grivas

Rent the umbrella and lounge chairs if you're gonna be there all day. It's a convenience if you don't have them or are traveling out of town and they're too bulky to pack/ fly with.

April Harris

My private time on a public beach . Love it

Luis Fernandez

Awesome beach . One of the best sunset ever.

Jason Hernandez

Beautiful beach , the rain these past few days had the sand not as powdery as usual. Consistently ranked one of the top beaches in the US.

In season get here before 10:00 AM to get a parking spot ! Season is January to Easter Weekend. White sand that doesn't burn your feet. No shade so bring sun screen!

Sam Moeller

This is one of the beautiful beach of the world.It is so awesome beach for walk in the every morning.
