Siesta Beach was recently ranked the 3rd best beach in the entire United States for 2008. The fine white 99% quartz sand is like no other. During the day the beach is packed with some of the best looking people in the world worshiping the sun, swimming or enjoying beach activities. At night the sand provides a comforting sensation ... like walking on the moon but with soft, white, soothing sand. It is my favorite beach; and I am lucky to live close enough to feature it in my portfolio.
Siesta Village is a block down the road from Siesta beach and is a popular, fun place to go out and about. There are several bars, shops and restaurants, each having its own unique atmosphere, which makes for an interesting night out. Spring Break is a perfect time of the year to see Siesta Key in its prime.
Turtle Beach is on the south end of Siesta Key and is fast becoming a "hidden gem." It is interesting to see the recently completed restoration process that has rescued the beach from the forces of erosion. Turtle Beach is quieter than the northern section of Siesta Key and is reached by a pleasant drive down through a "tunnel" of palm trees. And there is something behind the name: it is a natural setting for sea turtles to nest ... an example of Nature at its finest.
A Slice of Paradise......
