Powdery white sand, a wide variety of accommodations, local shopping and great nightlife makes Siesta Key a sought after community for full-time residents, second homes and investment property owners.
Just off the coast of mainland Sarasota on the Gulf of Mexico lies Siesta Key. This 8-mile long crescent-shaped barrier island is accessible by two bridges and is located approximately 55 miles south of Tampa.
Siesta Key is known for beautiful beaches made from 99% pure quartz. Millions of years old, this sand flowed from the Appalachian Mountains, traveling southward until it was eventually deposited on the shores of Siesta Key. Our sand is so white and reflective that even on the hottest days, it feels cool underfoot. As quartz crystal is a natural conductor of energy, the holistic community believes that the soft white sand maximizes the body’s ability to heal both physically and emotionally. Shallow water depth near the shore makes it one of the safest beaches in the country and great for small children.
