No 1 Beach in the USA (by authorities like Dr. Beach and TripAdvisor 2015-2017-2020), and Siesta Key Beach is not to be missed!

The quartz sand and shallow waters of Siesta Beach have made it the most beloved of all Siesta Key beaches. The public beach provides a front-row seat to elegant green waters, flowing in and out as if petting the coast of the barrier island.

After finding parking- wander down to the sandy shores to find a just as spacious beach. Don’t forget to take a photo with the Siesta Beach signboard.

Lifeguard towers are there at Siesta Key Beach. Green-Yellow- Red flag are waving at the tower telling you the hazardous level.

The sand itself is so soft and the water is as clear as the Caribbean. You can spend an entire day just lounging by the ocean, which is why this spot is so crowded daily. Despite this, there is plenty of free parking, concession stands, and restrooms available for public use. This is a great family destination, ideal for children looking to collect shells as souvenirs. Siesta Key Beach has something to offer for everyone, making it one of the best Sarasota attractions.

while doing my research (that's my part of visiting any place) - I come to know about below-

Siesta Beach is known as one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere in the world. Unlike beaches elsewhere that are made up mostly of pulverized coral, Siesta Beach’s sand is 99% quartz. Even on the hottest days, the sand is so reflective that it feels cool underfoot. It’s estimated that the sand on Siesta Beach is millions of years old, having its origin in the Appalachians and flowing down the rivers from the mountains until it eventually was deposited on the shores of Siesta Key. Siesta Key Beach has many awards it has earned, like-

“The whitest and finest sand in the world” (The Great International Beach Challenge, 1987), “The Best Sand Beach in America” (The Travel Channel, 2004), “The Best Beach in America” (Dr. Beach, 2011, 2017).

Parking: An enormous parking lot befitting its popularity, I reached there at 9 AM, it was Sunday, though it was not even 20% full, but when I was leaving at 2 PM, I saw the board " Parking lot full" so better watch out, especially on weekend. Restroom: it’s there and somehow clean as well. 3/5 Changing Room: no changing room Shower: a couple of showers are there.
