Siesta Key, a barrier island off the coast of Sarasota, is renowned for its white quartz sand beaches and laid-back atmosphere. Siesta Beach, rated the No. 2 beach in the United States by TripAdvisor in 2023, is a central feature of the island. The island stretches for 8 miles, with most activity concentrated in the north end, around the downtown area and the quaint village district. The village offers a variety of unique shops, restaurants, and nightlife options, making it a hub of local flavor. Popular dining spots include Toasted Mango Café, Miguel’s, and Captain Curt’s Crab & Oyster Bar. For shopping, residents can visit Casa Del Sol Boutique and Beach Bazaar. The island also features Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach, each offering a different beach experience. Siesta Key is well-connected, with a trolley service that makes it easy to explore the island. The nearby mainland is accessible via the Siesta Key North Bridge and the Stickney Point Bascule Bridge, providing convenient access to central and south Sarasota.
While Siesta Key is primarily car-dependent, the island offers a free trolley service that connects residents to various points of interest, including the village and nearby beaches. For those looking to travel further afield, Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport is approximately 12 miles away, a 25-minute drive. The island's layout and infrastructure make it bikeable, providing an alternative mode of transportation for residents. Major roads and highways are easily accessible via the two bridges connecting Siesta Key to the mainland, ensuring that residents can quickly reach downtown Sarasota and other parts of the region.
