Is there any better place to spend your summer vacation than on the white sand beaches of Siesta Key, frolicking in the surf, building sandcastles at shore’s edge, and just living the beach life you have dreamed about your entire life? Of course there isn’t and as your summer getaway to our Rent Siesta Key escapes draws even closer, we thought we would take a few minutes to offer up some ideas of all the other things you can do to fill your vacation hours. You’ve already figured out the beach thing and you could spend every day all day playing on our sandy shores, but you’ve come all this way and it would be a shame to miss out on all of these wonderful adventures.
Siesta Key Bike and Kayak, 1224 Old Stickney Point Road, Open 9-5 Daily
Sometimes it is the simpler pleasures that make the largest impact and a ride around Siesta Key aboard a colorful beach cruiser could be just the thing to make your fantastic Florida getaway even sweeter. Siesta Key Bike and Kayak rents a variety of bikes, e-bikes, and scooters ensuring that you can find the piece of equipment that makes your vacation shine brighter. They also rent beach gear, allowing guests to have a great time on the beach without having to lug chairs and umbrellas around, but many of our Rent Siesta Key vacation rentals will also offer much of the same equipment, helping to save you a little cash during your vacation.
Parasail Siesta, 1250 Stickney Point Road, open 8-6:30 Daily
We all have dreams in which we are flying and under normal circumstances the only way we can fly for real is while seated in a metal tube with a seatbelt wrapped around our waists. Parasailing, however, allows us to enjoy a similar sensation, flying through the air dangling from a parachute as the wonderful people from Parasail Siesta guide the boat that provides the power that helps you fly. Using the latest equipment and following all the safety guidelines, the rates are reasonably priced, $79 per person, and the experience will bring you memories you will never forget.
Shopping Expeditions
On a summer day that feels a little too warm to be outside, shopping for treasures and souvenirs is an activity that most travelers enjoy and the shops of Siesta Key provide a variety of wares that will bring back wonderful memories of that time you spent your vacation one of Florida’s most beautiful Keys. Gidget’s Coastal Provisions, 5242 Ocean Boulevard, is one of our favorite shops, filled with beach themed items that will look amazing on the shelves at your own home. Looking for a cute new dress to wear out to your dinner with the hubs? Casa del Sol Boutique, 5212 Ocean Boulevard, offers men’s and women’s clothing, accessories, and even some houseware and gift items. And because there is no greater pleasure than attending a Farmers Market on a gorgeous summer day, your Sunday morning on Siesta Key can be spent wandering the aisles of the Siesta Key Farmers Market, 5211 Ocean Boulevard. They are open from 9AM until 2PM.
Sarasota Classic Car Museum, 5500 N Tamiami Trail, Open Daily from 9-6
Another fascinating indoor activity perfect for rainy days or for those days you just don’t want to brave the heat, is a visit to the Sarasota Classic Car Museum. Offering 60,000 square feet and a revolving collection of colorful classic cars, their latest exhibit, The Art of Ferdinand Porsche and Enzo Ferrari, is a fascinating deep dive into the history of two of the greatest car designers in the world. This museum may be changing to a new location soon, we just don’t know when and where but it will be announced as soon as that information is available.
Play at Home With Rent Siesta Key
Some of your finer moments of fun and relaxation will take place within the boundaries of your Rent Siesta Key home sweet vacation home or condo. Every property on Siesta Key is located within walking distance of the white sand beaches and many will be located within sight of those turquoise waters. Spend a few hours hanging out by the pools that are a part of most escapes, eschewing salt and sand for comfy loungers and crystal blue chlorinated waters or simply relax on patios that overlook the Gulf of Mexico, feeling salty breezes kiss your cheeks as the sea waters crash against those impossibly white shores. Movie nights are adventures in comfort as you watch from the depths of plush sofas as the large screen pictures make you feel as if you are an extra in the movie and at night, when the moon lights up the waves with its cool glow, you may miss most of THAT show as you are sleeping soundly in soft as cloud beds.
