Siesta Key Beach has repeatedly been called ‘the top beach in America.’ Its crystal clear waters and powdery white sand feel just slightly nicer than the other beaches in the area. Not far from downtown Sarasota, the small island of Siesta Key sits on the gleaming Gulf of Mexico and boasts one of the best beaches in the country. In the heart of this quirky, fun island is Siesta Key Village, a colorful, lively village near the beach that is full of restaurants, shops, bars, spas, ice cream parlors, and much more. The village is all about shops, parties, and fun, and its festive atmosphere is just perfect for barhopping.
