Located just off the coast of Sarasota, Florida, this barrier island has earned countless accolades, including being named the #1 Beach in America multiple times by Dr. Beach and TripAdvisor.

Tucked away at the southern tip of Siesta Key, Turtle Beach is a favorite for those who prefer a more natural, off-the-beaten-path vibe.

At the southern end of Crescent Beach sits one of Siesta Key’s hidden treasures: Point of Rocks. Expect to see schools of tropical fish, crabs, and even small rays in the crystal-clear Gulf waters.

Venice Beach offers something you won’t find anywhere else: a reputation as the Shark Tooth Capital of the World.
