area beaches & destinations
Sarasota County's beaches are a diverse mix of sun and fun.
Sun, sand and water are three things Sarasota has an abundance of, but not all Sarasota beaches are the same. Six islands line Sarasota's extensive coastline, each revealing its own personality, recreational options and natural beauty. Don't worry; you don't have to choose just one.
You can also check out beach conditions at any time before visiting our gorgeous Gulf Coast beaches and learn about Florida's Red Tide.

Siesta Key
In a nod to its namesake, Siesta Key beaches are an invitation
for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Enjoying its reputation as one of America’s Best Beaches, Siesta Beach is made famous by its sugar-fine, quartz-white sand. A short jaunt from the public beach is a village of outdoor dining, coffee shops and shopping. Turtle Beach sits beyond the sea grapes on the Key’s southern end and is a popular site for launching kayaks.
