No description of Siesta Key would be complete without mentioning our 3 world-class beaches, Siesta Beach, Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach. 

Leisurly stroll on the crystal white sands that have made Siesta Key Beach famous, and experience what our vibrant community has to offer.

Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay, Siesta Key is an 8 mile long, crescent-shaped barrier island off the coast of Sarasota on the central west coast of Florida. Siesta Key is a part of Sarasota County, and a portion of it falls within the city limits of Sarasota.

Two bridges connect our piece of paradise to mainland Sarasota. The southernmost of the two bridges will put you right at our doorstep, or take the northernmost bridge and head south for a scenic drive through Siesta Key.

Siesta Key is governed by Sarasota County and we are part of the Sarasota County School District. Our students attend Phillippi Shores Elementary School, Brookside Middle School, and Sarasota High School, or one of the many private and parochial schools in the area.

There are three churches right on the key, St. Boniface Episcopal Church, St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church and Siesta Key Chapel Presbyterian Church, as well as numerous churches, synagogues and spiritual centers back on the mainland of Sarasota.

There are two main shopping and dining districts on Siesta Key. The larger of the two is the mainly pedestrian Siesta Key Village with its many quaint shops, high-end boutiques, restaurants ranging from very casual to fine dining and world-class seafood restaurants, and nightly entertainment including live music performed by local artists.

The second is conveniently located within two blocks of Midnight Cove and it offers a grocery store, drug store, post office, liquor store, marina, and a variety of boutique shops and restaurants.

Only 25 minutes away, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport is the closest airport, but you'll have lots of options with Tampa International Airport, St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport, and the Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers just a short drive away.

Siesta Key is the perfect place to spend a week, a month or, like many of our residents who started out as vacationers or seasonal residents have come to know, it's the perfect place to spend a lifetime...
