Siesta Key in west Florida is recognized as one of the best beaches in the US. And we’re not just talking about the amenities. At the Great International Sand Challenge, Siesta Key was rated as having the “world’s finest, whitest sand”, beating the Bahamas and Grand Cayman! Dazzling white and powdery fine sand, the 99 percent pure quartz sand of Siesta Key does not contain any coral or shell fragments. Affectionately known as “Sarasota’s Favorite Island,” Siesta Key is an 8-mile (12.8-kilometer) long, crescent-shaped barrier connected to the mainland by two bridges. From water-inspired attractions to boating and fishing excursions to sunbathing, there is so much to do in Siesta Key.
