Siesta Beach named One of the Best Beaches in the World!

Siesta Beach was named one of the Best Beaches in the World!

Siesta Beach in Sarasota, FL has recently been named one of the Best beaches in the world! Visitors can enjoy beautiful white powdery sand, soft waves and the Florida sun at the gorgeous Siesta Beach.

TripAdvisor recently released its Travelers’ Choice Awards List ranking the 25 beaches in the world and Siesta Beach made the cut!

The beach offers lots of parking, concession stands, a free trolley to get around the island and the nearby Siesta Key Village. You’d have to work pretty hard to get bored here.

If you’re looking for a spot to escape, consider the unique Tiny House Siestas. These tiny homes offer a resplendent space to enjoy the Florida sun.

You can even go under the sea! Snorkelers love the sea life at Point of Rocks at the south end of the beach. Turtle Beach is even further south and offers another place to unwind and relax on the beach.

Need to get your shopping fix? Siesta Village features a wonderful assortment of boutiques, bars and restaurants for quiet dinners and more loud pubs. On Sunday evenings you can see the Siesta Key Drum Circle where you will find tribal styled drummers next to sword balancing belly dancers and an array of beach life that takes one back a few decades.

If you prefer to get away from the sand, there are opportunities to rent a bike and explore the laid back Siesta neighborhoods or a “cuppa coffee” at a local café in the Village.

“Absolutely beautiful beach with silky quartz sand! Great beach for people watching, sunsets, breakfast/morning walk on beach and finding sand dollars.” wrote one TripAdvisor reviewer.
