Siesta Key Beach

Beach · Sarasota, Florida

Eight hundred acres of sand that is roughly ninety-nine percent pure quartz, ground so fine it squeaks underfoot and — because quartz does not hold heat the way shell and coral do — stays cool enough to walk barefoot at midday in August. It has twice been named the best beach in America, and the cool sand is not marketing; it is the reason people who have been to a hundred beaches remember this one.

948 Beach Road, Sarasota, Florida, 34242, United States
