Siesta Key

Siesta Key is an eight-mile barrier island off the coast of Sarasota, known worldwide for its award-winning beaches. Siesta Beach has been named the number one beach in the United States multiple times, celebrated for its unique 99% pure quartz sand that stays cool underfoot even in peak summer heat. Beyond the beaches, Siesta Key is a vibrant island community with a distinct village atmosphere, waterfront dining, and a laid-back Gulf Coast lifestyle.

Siesta Key’s real estate spans a wide range, from beachfront condominiums and canal-front homes with boat lifts to secluded estates tucked among mature tropical landscaping. Key neighborhoods and areas include Siesta Key Village, Crescent Beach, Point of Rocks, Turtle Beach, Midnight Pass, Siesta Isles, Sanderling Club, Peppertree Bay, Gulf and Bay Club, and Excelsior. The island’s north end near the Village offers walkable access to shops and restaurants, while the south end around Turtle Beach provides a quieter, more residential character.

The Siesta Key lifestyle revolves around the water and the village. Siesta Key Village is the island’s social hub, offering restaurants, live music, art galleries, boutique shops, and weekly events including the famous Siesta Key Drum Circle at sunset every Sunday. Point of Rocks, located between Crescent Beach and Siesta Beach, is a natural limestone formation that offers some of the best snorkeling on the Gulf Coast. Turtle Beach on the island’s south end provides boat ramp access and a more secluded shoreline. The island also offers kayak and paddleboard rentals, fishing charters, and sunset sailing from Siesta Key Marina.

Siesta Key is connected to the mainland by two bridges — the north bridge from Tamiami Trail and the south Stickney Point bridge. This provides convenient access to Sarasota’s cultural amenities, healthcare facilities, and shopping while maintaining the island’s distinct character. Siesta Key is served by Sarasota County public schools, with several private school options accessible on the mainland.
