Siesta Key

Siesta Key is a beautiful eight mile long barrier island just off the coast of Sarasota, Florida. Siesta has it’s own unique tropical atmosphere; blessed with the world’s finest, whitest beaches, filled with charming hideaways, and always offering plenty to do. If you would prefer to simply relax, there is no better place to simply sit still and let the warm breezes, cool water and soft sand become your personal paradise!

Two draw bridges link the island to the mainland, allowing it to remain an uncomplicated natural paradise without sacrificing the amenities of contemporary life. The north bridge, Siesta Drive, is within the City of Sarasota and provides convenient access to Downtown Sarasota, its business and arts districts, and to the Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport. The south bridge, Stickney Point Road, provides access to south Sarasota County and a direct route to Interstate 75.

Siesta Key has approximately 15,000 full time residents, while another 18,000 “snowbirds” arrive annually to enjoy the mild winter temperatures. Residences on Siesta Key range from small rental cottages to waterfront condos and custom private estate homes.

The beaches of Siesta Key are world-renowned, with pure quartz sand pulverized to a fine white powder. There is no sand quite like Siesta’s anywhere else in the world. The beach is also the islands center of social activity, with places to meet, hold reunions, picnics, or weddings.

There are two main shopping districts on Siesta Key, each with a wide variety of shops, boutiques, and galleries. Siesta Key Village is located on the northwest side of the Key about one block from the Gulf. The Siesta South Shopping area begins at the Stickney Point Bridge and goes south along Midnight Pass Road.

The canal front and bay front homes on the island of Siesta Key accommodate large yachts and sailboats, and there are bay front homes available with views of Sarasota bay and the mainland, as well as estate homes and condos with direct views of the Gulf of Mexico.
