The Pure White Crystal Sand Beaches of Siesta Key, a booming economic climate plus the thriving Sarasota arts community attract sun lovers from all over the world. Sarasota is so captivating that these visitors very often decide to make Siesta Key Barrier Island their home.



Siesta Key is an 8 mile long barrier island opposite the Sarasota mainland. Siesta Key is accessible from Sarasota by 2 bridges. The local population is about 7,000. Siesta Key real estate is comprised of both Siesta single family homes and Siesta condominiums. Siesta Key boasts three beautiful beaches. Siesta Key is known as one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere in the world. At the "Great International White Sand Beach Challenge", Siesta Key was recognized as having the "whitest and finest sand in the world."

Unlike beaches elsewhere that are made up mostly of coral, Siesta Key sand is 99% quartz. Even on the hottest days, the sand is so reflective that it feels cool underfoot.

Shallow water depth in the near Siesta Key shore area together with year round lifeguard protection, makes Siesta Key one of the safest beaches in Sarasota County and great for small children. Sorry - No pets on the beach.
