 Located approximately 55 miles south of Tampa on Florida's Gulf Coast, Siesta Key
is an eight-mile-long barrier island connected to Sarasota by two bridges.
Founded in 1846, there are now approximately 24,000 full- and part-time
residents of Siesta Key.
While all the
conveniences of modern life are easily accessible, Siesta Key is still remote
enough to give one a feeling of old Florida. Bursting with lush foliage, mature
trees and tropical flowering shrubs line the winding routes to the village and
the beaches. The beaches are refreshingly natural, with protected wild sea oats
and mangroves providing a protective habitat for the scores of native island
birds that share the island, as well as the dolphins, manatees and other aquatic
wildlife living just offshore.
Siesta Key is an eight-mile-long island joined to
Sarasota by two bridges. It is a popular resort that has retained its natural
beauty. Siesta Key beaches are rated among the best in the world. The
beautiful white sand is soft, floury and cool to touch even under the hottest
sun. Nestled between Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, Siesta Key is the
perfect year-round island destination.
