The Beach
Our closest beach is the Siesta Key Public Beach on Beach Rd., just 1-mile away. It s the most lively on the island, but also the widest so plenty of room to sit and relax. What makes this beach amazing is it is the only beach on the island that serves food and drinks. That s right! For the first time since the 1970s, you can get beer, frozen cocktails, gourmet sandwiches and burritos, snacks and more at a Siesta Key beach location! The water at this beach is also shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand and tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing.
