The Siesta Key Beach has won multiple awards for its super white sand made of 99% quartz! It might be too cold to take a swim in the ocean, but the miles-long beach is perfect for brisk walks and catching sunset at Sunset point. While you're there, check out Siesta Key village, which is a great place to walk around, check out shops, dine, and get ice cream!
