I love coming here for a week getaway with my family. I’ve been coming here for years and I never had a horrible time. I do note to bring tents because it gets extremely hot, especially if you’re coming with a big group of people. The sand is also so soft, there will be times that it’ll get overcast but that also depends on when you decide to come. Just coming here I always feel relax and there’s also an outlet mall thirty minutes away!

While Siesta Key Beach is still my favorite, Crescent Beach is an extremely close runner-up. In fact, during my stay here, we frequented Crescent Beach more than we did Siesta Key for several reasons: 1. Was walking distance from my condo(Public Beach entrance across from Captain Curts) –Parking is limited if you’re driving 2. For people staying on the ocean side, you have private access right there 3. Sand is still the beautiful white powdery material found a mile down the road(doesn’t burn your feet) 4. Same beautiful clear, turquoise water 5. If you walk to the end there is Pointed Rocks, where I was able to get some cool pictures 6. Same great sunset Reasons why it’s a 5, but still can’t beat Siesta Key Beach? It doesn’t offer the same amenities(bathrooms, food, etc.), and while the beach is still extremely clean, I don’t think it has the same strict cleaning as Siesta Key’s beach does(ie: There was seaweed on the beach when we went) Love the beach, love the views. It’s almost exactly the same as Siesta Key, but can be a little less crowded because it’s mostly a private beach. Parking is an issue for both beaches.

The private beach adjacent to Siesta is what I consider to be my «home town» beach as it was where I spent the most time when I was young. I could walk to this beach when I was a kid and, for a while, my grandparents had a condo on the beach. This beach is a little bit quieter and less hectic during«season» but does not offer the amenities as Siesta does(food court, bathrooms, etc) but is just as aesthetically pleasing. I have very fond memories of walking down the beach to «point of rocks» and attempting to navigate the rocks during low tide. If you attempt this, please beware, the rocks get extremely slippery and can be dangerous. I will always have a special place in my heart for this beach, with beautiful sunsets, white sand, views of dolphins and other aquatic animals, and rows of condos with vacationers and snow-birds(seasonal residents in non-Southern speak). The only negative thing I can think of is that parking can be tough but locals know that you can usually find a spot on one of the nearby side streets(this is more difficult in seas but do-able).

Crescent Beach is located on the south side of Siesta Key. This beach has one public access point #12 but parking is limited. Crescent Beach is more laid back and isn’t as public so it doesn’t get as full. The sand, water, and sunsets are just as good though. At the very end of crescent beach there is a rock formation called point of rocks. This is the best spot for snorkeling and it can been seen at low tide. I prefer this beach in the summer because it is near my house. No matter where you go in Sarasota, 5 star beaches await your arrival!
