Crescent Beach — Attraction in Siesta Key

Crescent Beach ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beach in Siesta Key, Sarasota, FL, USA Sylvia 3⭐️= average/good To visit this beach you need to be staying or living in one Siesta condos, houses or hotels on this side if the island. There is no parking available just to visit Crescent. You’ll have to go to Siesta Beach to park. This beach is full of walkers mostly in the morning but all day long there are thousands of people walking. Each of the beach front properties are flagged off for their guests. You can bring your own chair if you’re staying across the street and sit waters edge. Remember to check the tides schedule for best time to go out. Red Tide (the algae bloom caused by chemical spills) is usually between April & November, smells like a toilet if wind is blowing toward the gulf, it’s ok. Look up Red Tide Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission for latest guidance. The plus of this beach the most beautiful sunsets and a great place if you like to pick up a shell or two as a souvenir. Good for families and adults...

We've been coming to this area for years now. Seems like the famous beach north of this one has gotten drastically more popular since the last time we were here. I'm glad we ended up here in Crescent beach. There are many benefits. It's a shorter walk to the water. The water is calmer. No incline or decline to get into water. Less people.

There's only one bad thing in my book. I'm not going to deduct stars but the ditch drainage/street water drainage comes out on the beach and makes pools. I'm not sure if that's normal or what but it kind of grossed me out. Still didn't take...

A beautiful beach for sure. We used to love visiting on Sunday nights at sunset because of the drum circle. Alas, the evangelicals have taken over and whether one wants it or not, one is treated to a loud band at the pavilion, a prayer tent with preacher, free gifts, personal prayers and advice on how to live a good life, and if really fortunate, baptism in the gulf a few yards beyond. Its intrusive and judging by the few people who enter the tent, mostly unwelcomed. There are other beaches where one can experience the many pleasures of the beach...
