The Best Beach in USA - Siesta Key Sarasota Beach, Florida
Siesta Key Beach has chosen by Dr.Beach as the number 2 beach in the USA for 2009. The Public Beach on Siesta Key is the widest beach in the area. It’s also the most popular. Famous for its soft white sand, the amenities include lifeguards, concessions, picnic tables & grills, rest rooms and showers. 10 volleyball courts, 4 tennis courts and a playground shaded by Australian pines are an added bonus. Parking is free – while it lasts. Be sure to get there before noon on the weekends.
The vacation rentals on Siesta Key are numerous and varied. From luxurious resorts, rental condominiums & villas to apartment efficiencies and motel rooms, most offer private beaches or beach access within a short distance of Siesta Beach. Visitors come from all over the world.
Siesta Key also has two other great beach areas:
Crescent Beach and Point-of Rocks is south of Siesta Public Beach. Crescent Beach offers a wide selection of rental condominiums and is bounded on its southern end by Point-of-Rocks, which features a natural outcropping of flat limestone rock that makes for excellent shallow-water snorkeling when water conditions permit (which is quite often).

Turtle Beach is several miles south of Point-of-Rocks and has soft sand that has a higher content of shell and fossilized material than Siesta Public Beach, so the sand is not white and does not pack as firm. It is also a steeper beach, and the water gets deeper more quickly than at Siesta Public Beach. Turtle Beach has a picnic area, restrooms, free parking and a sheltered lagoon that is a popular place to launch small boats. Turtle Beach is a good surfing spot when the surf is big enough.
