One of the top beaches on the Florida Gulf Coast
From the main entrance all the way to the north of Siesta Key, the beaches and water can’t be beat. There are multiple entrances to the beaches along the way. I stayed at a rental house by entrance #10 . Great spot as it wasn’t as crowded as near the main entrance further south. Lots of folks tend to be on the beach near sunset, which I recommend experiencing at least once.

Don't bother with Sarasota beaches
Friends
Don't go Sarasota beaches if you don't want a face full of cigarette smoke. The smokers ruin the enjoyment of the beaches by everyone. The poor sealife try to eat all the cigarette butts, and the people leave their trash everywhere. Seaweed, trash, seagulls, crappy Beach. Better beaches in Ft. Lauderdale or Miami. More fun there too.

Siesta keys vacationing
Family
Me and my Family came from Miami hoping to get that beautiful Sarasota beach treatment with no help at all but funny enough my son actually works for the company that was working at that same beach and they were so generous that they help set up a bed for chairs and for umbrellas as well. The name of this for amazing individuals is Rafael Luis Ian and Keith. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon at Sarasota!

Soft sandy beach
This beach is made of powdered quarts delivered by water ways via storm and many tides. The whole gambit is posted in front of the main public beach. Which by the way has a restaurant on the second level outside overlooking the Gulf! (Alcohol, too)
