There's more to Siesta Key than just beaches and water. There are two main shopping and restaurant districts on Siesta Key, each with a wide variety of shops. The Siesta South Shopping Area begins at the Stickney Point Bridge and goes south along Midnight Pass Road, and has everything you need within walking distance, a full service grocery store with a deli counter offering both hot and cold foods, nearby drug store and post office, courier service, stores, shops, boutiques, salons, liquor store, fine restaurants and entertainment and seafood houses, even a marina. Boat, kayak, fishing, para-sailing charters, jet-ski and bike rentals are also available.
On the north end of Siesta Key is Siesta Village, a short walk from Siesta Beach, a mostly pedestrian village area catering to the island lifestyle, with stores, shops, boutiques, numerous sidewalk cafes, open-air dining restaurants, ranging from fast-food to award-winning fine dining, offering everything from subs, sandwiches, and burgers to crab, lobster, raw oysters, blackened fish and many other unique local dishes at many of the waterfront and casual seafood restaurants. There is also a small supermarket in the village with a deli counter offering both hot and cold foods, as well as a drug store and post office.
Two bridges link Siesta Key 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 the city, its business and arts districts, and to the Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport via US Highway 41. The south bridge, Stickney Point Road, provides access to south Sarasota County and a direct route to Interstate 75.
On the east side of the island is Sarasota Bay and Florida's intra-coastal waterway.
It is a scenic trail for boaters interested in exploring the mangrove forests that dot the shoreline, or cruising to Sarasota's many dockside restaurants and pubs. Temporary docking is available at several local restaurants and many of the bayside condominiums have boat docks available for renters. For your enjoyment, there are many marinas offering charters, guided tours and boat rentals.
On the island's west side are Siesta Key's glorious white sand beaches, ranked number one in the world in 2011 by Dr. Beach, and the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. There are almost 50 miles of canals and waterways inside Siesta Key which is also surrounded by water, the Intra-coastal waterway, Sarasota Bay, Roberts Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

Crescent Beach, in the middle of Siesta Key, offers lush, white sands, azure waters, and stunning sunsets, but it is relatively secluded and quiet,
with a more laid-back atmosphere. Located just south of Siesta Beach, the beach scene here tends to be more peaceful and private.
Crescent Beach, noted for its crescent shape, extends for 2 ½ miles from the northern tip of Siesta Key, south past Siesta Beach to Point of Rocks, a lovely snorkeling and diving area that is rich with coral rock formations, unusual outcropping of flat, smooth, limestone rock extending for some distance out into the shallow water, as well as home to colorful and abundant marine life.
There are no lifeguards or restroom facilities available to the public on Crescent Beach. The shallow water depth in the near shore area, makes this one of the safest beaches in the County and great for small children. There is only 1 public access to the beach, and parking is thankfully very limited, and any parking on the local streets is prohibited. Most of the people seen on Crescent Beach are either guests of the many beach and bayside resorts, or locals who took the S.C.A.T. bus, walked or biked to the beach.
A walk at a leisurely pace from Point-of-Rocks at one end of the beach, past Siesta Beach to the north end and back, would take about 1¾ to 2 hours, depending on how often you stopped to look at the many shore birds you meet along the way.

Siesta Beach (public) is located to the north of the island, off Midnight Pass Road, and is ¾ of a mile long, offering the same lush, white sands, azure waters, and stunning sunsets. This 40 acre beach has 2,400 linear feet of gulf beach frontage.
There are 800 parking spaces plus limited parking at the 13 public beach accesses to accommodate visitors, shallow water depth in the near shore area, and with year round lifeguard protection.
The lifeguard stands have been painted in primary colors (yellow, blue, green, and red) to make it easier to keep track of where you and your children are. The beach`s many amenities include, two food and souvenir concession stands, restrooms, showers, picnic tables and large group picnic shelters, gazebos, tennis courts, ball fields, beach volleyball courts, a soccer field, a 20 station fitness trail, and playground equipment.
If you're staying on Siesta Key, there are plenty of public access points to the public beach so it's a short walk from most of the north end of the key. Beyond the fire station near the intersection of Midnight Pass Road and Beach Road, the next public beach access south is near Stickney Point Road. Siesta Beach is within easy walking distance of Siesta Village, about 2 miles away, with many quaint shops, restaurants and nightly entertainment.
|
Turtle Beach (public) is located on Midnight Pass Road near the south end of Siesta Key and is known for its shelling, fishing, and surfing. This beach is completely separate from the crowds up at Siesta Beach, and it is far less commercial and much quieter. This 14 acre beach has 2,400 linear feet of gulf beach frontage.
Turtle Beach is a narrow beach with a steeper incline, and with darker sand, browner and with a greater shell consistency than on Crescent Beach and Siesta Beach to the north. It is less crowded than Siesta Beach, and offers plenty of free parking. This area has restaurants, shopping and a few local night spots nearby. A short ½ mile walk south offers access to Palmer Point Beach on Casey Key.
The beach`s many amenities include restrooms, a building for meetings, free boat launch area, small and large picnic shelters, beach volleyball court, horseshoe pit, playground equipment, showers, and fishing is permitted in the adjacent Blind Pass Lagoon which connects to Little Sarasota Bay. Turtle Beach also has a newky installed lifeguard stand.
This beach is also home to many nesting sea turtles, and their natural habitat and nests, are protected by law.
