The water is so clear and the sand is so cool on your feet ! I highly recommend getting here early. If you can make it by 8am you’ll have ample parking and your pick of your spot on the beach.
This is literally the best beach for both locals & tourists! Plenty of space for everyone. Parking lot is large. Restrooms, tables, chairs under the shade. The white sand that never gets hot! The SAND IS UNIQUE here - quartz that washes down in rivers from the Appalachian mountains! Unique other beach sand made from corals/shells that gets HOT & burns your feet. Tons of little corkscrew shells! People fishing day & night (shark fishing). Treasure hunters with metal detectors after everyone leaves. Perfect beach for early morning walk or a night walk under the full moon! Just beautiful! We saw yellow crowned night heron, skimmers, sea gulls, snowy egret. People
Riding e-bikes with large thick wheels. So many families, couples etc. the beach is lined with hotels, condos & private homes. Showers, foot wash station. Perfection!

Beautiful beach with food and drinks on site. Showers and clean bathrooms. A little hike to the beach but we liked the calm waves and warm water on gulf. Will have no trouble parking if you get there before noon but after that the lot fills up from what we noticed.
Wow! It was my first time visiting Siesta Key Beach! I had heard it was one of the top ten in the world 🌎 Now I see why! White sand as far as the eye can see and turquoise Gulf of Mexico water! I was in the 88° water for a little over an hour. It was incredibly nice and beautiful. Pristine and clean! I will definitely be back and I highly recommend!
Such a great time. Beautiful beach with nice waves! Parking is free. Highly recommend, there are also chairs and umbrellas available to rent. Childrens playground, volleyball it's easy to spend the whole day here and then see a beautiful sunset!
It’s the most beautiful beach I’ve ever been to from California to NY. The water is as clear as a swimming pool. The little beach town surrounding it is a lot of fun to walk around and check out, too. That or hop on a golf cart and take a little tour. Definitely a must see if ur in Southwest, Fl.
We had a great time here in Siesta Key beach. Is a great place for you and your family, couples, or by yourself. The soft white sands feel like I am stepping on power sugar. There's free parking, bathrooms, and a place to buy food, drinks, and ice if you so desire.
I have been to a lot of beaches in the US and never seen a beach this clean and water crystal clear like in Siesta Key. The area is wonderful. The parking was easy to find and free to park. We met a lot of people from different cities in the US visiting #1 beach in the country and I agree now, it is indeed number 1.
Plenty of space for people to sit and enjoy. The washrooms were nice and clean. I’m very blessed and happy to visit such wonderful beach. ❤️

Labelled as the No1 beach in the USA, this one of the best beaches. The sand is powdery and white. Easy to build sand castles and very clean. The facilities are a good 5 minute walk because of the large beach, but they are clean and plentiful. Parking was good and I never had to wait for parking (in February may be different in peak season)
The lifeguards are friendly and the water is warm as it is on the Gulf side.
The main drive there is often backed up, so it can take 15 to 20 minutes to get to the beach.

I don’t go by ranks, but definitely one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to. Whiter then white sand, crystal clear turquoise water. I could listen to the sound of soft waves for hours, watching the kids playing in the shallow water. A decent concession stand, a beach store and clean bathrooms with showers and a FREE parking with a free trolley shuttle to the lovely village makes the place the perfect vacation/getaway spot. I was there in February so it wasn’t full with people just yet, but I can imagine it being a bit crowded when the water really warms up.
🤩 Gorgeous Beach!! Stunning Pure white Sand, Baby powder consistency with Speckles of pink crystals! Excellent amenities and parking options! Of course it's ranked #1 Beach in The US👏
Beautiful wide beach with room for everyone. The parking is crowded today because of work being done at the middle lot. The restrooms are clean and well ventilated. It’s best to have water shoes in you’re not barefoot. You’ll walk through water to get to the beach because of rain yesterday.
Beautiful view. Love the sand. It is so soft. A lot nicer than Clearwater Beach. When we were there, some people was lighting up the floating lantern in memory of their loved ones and it was beautiful to watch. The water was cold during this time, so it's best to come in the summer time.
One of the best beaches. Very clean, very beautiful and proper restrooms. The sands are so silky. White sands make the view of the beach unforgettable for you. One of the beaches that you would not be bored of watching it. The birds also make it more amazing.
This is a beach that I would say is a must see for people coming to Siesta Key! There are SO many facilities that are kept very clean such as restrooms, changing rooms, and playgrounds. There are lots of parking spaces but is free, it is nicely maintained by Siesta County. The beach itself is very picturesque with white sands, and sandbars that make it shallow and fun to play in for children. The sundeck is a very nice facility with sunbathing chairs, umbrellas and a restaurant that offers Mexican food, sandwiches, and more. Overall this beach gets a 10/10!
Great beach! Crystal white sand beach. The walk to the water is a little far, but well worth it. Great snack bar. I recommend the BLT. I go there sometimes just for the ice cream. They have pineapple and pineapple swirl that is unbelievable!
BEST BEACH IN THE USA! BEST, softest, white sand around. BEST lifeguards (Scooter of the Beach!) Best concessions. Best events! LOVE this beach!
Beach was great! You do need to come early ( some people were saying before 8am), so you can find parking. It took us 30+ minutes to find a parking spot and this was around 11 am. You have to circle around multiple times and wait for people to exit a parking so you can get it.
Other than that the sand was very fine and soft, food was good and water was clear and warm.
Kids had a blast.

Siesta Key beach is absolutely beautiful, a true paradise, with its cool, lush, quartz white sand and it’s calm, clear water! Siesta sunsets are magnificent!
Siesta Beach was huge, clean, handicap accessible, and had the softest, prettiest white sand. We were only there for a short while, but would definitely go back when we have more time available. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there weren’t a lot of public restrooms available, although I may have missed some. It just seemed with the size of the beach there would be more access to restrooms or even changing/shower rooms.
Overall, beautiful beach and great place to relax to watch the sunset.

Great Beach ⛱️🏖️ white sands, First time here in October 25th 2023, celebrating my wife birthday, temperature 87°F, the place was not that packed, and it is a huge beach, 2hrs drive from Orlando, but it is worth the drive, there are bathrooms, shower 🚿 to wash off the sand, I would recommend this beautiful beach, I would definitely come back here in the near future. Here are some pictures we took for you to see.
It's the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in my lifetime, The parking is free. I highly recommend going there if you're in the area. You won't be sorry.
Great for photos
Often referred to as the World's Best Beach, this beach gets a lot of attention. The reason for its desirability is the bright white, cool sand that is actually crushed quartz from the Appalachian Mountains. As such, you can enjoy the beach with always-cool sand and warm water throughout the year. Because of the demand, parking can be challenging, so it's best to get here early, late, or during the week. The beach offers a concession stand with public restrooms, a gift shop for beach items, and has multiple lifeguards on duty. A popular choice, not only for Sarasota, but for anyone coming to see the best of Florida.
Sociable, relaxing, fun, fun, fun!
Good access! Trash cans and parking provided for free
Don't even bother.
If you can find parking, this is a beautiful beach. Their is an extended walk through the brush (on well marked sand covered trail) and then a smaller, but more private beach front. Plenty of shallows to enjoy the light surf and a sizable sandbar half way out. Plan to see fish at your feet.
