Siesta Key Beach

Siesta Key has been voted “Number 1 Beach in the US” and “Best Beach in the US” many times. It’s a long, deep beach with minimal waves and lots of room for lots of people. The beach is so big that it never seems very crowded, or maybe we have been lucky. There are restaurants, bars, longboard rentals, umbrella rentals, basically everything a popular beach could have.
