Lovely Beaches

Siesta Beach is one of the state’s best beaches, featuring ample amenities, including a picnic area, concession stands, volleyball and tennis courts, lifeguard posts, and a playground for the little ones. Crescent Beach lies south of Siesta Beach, offering fine white sands and rich marine life, making it ideal for snorkeling. If you’re looking for a more active spot, head to Turtle Beach and enjoy boating, fishing, or beachcombing once the tide resides.
Swimming in the Gulf
Siesta Key’s fantastic year-round weather means you can swim in the Gulf even during winter. One of the best swimming spots in Siesta Key is Crescent Beach, thanks to its clear waters and lovely white sands. The waters off Crescent Beach are usually calm, making it an ideal place for swimmers of all skill levels and ages. Siesta Beach is also an excellent place for a soothing dip, owing to its minimal wave action, fewer crowds, and shallow waters stretching a safe distance from the beach.
Fishing Tours
The Gulf of Mexico is a fishing hub, teeming with umpteen fish species ready for the taking. The easiest way to enjoy a fishing experience is by taking a fishing tour as you head out to reel in a prized catch.

Fun Boat Tours has over five years of experience in the touring space, offering two unique dolphin tours, each featuring a delightful treat. Take the morning cruise and enjoy complimentary coffee and donuts, or relish the afternoon cruise with a beverage. Each excursion takes roughly two hours, passing along the intercoastal waterway.
