Siesta Key Beach Travel Tips

By Sarah White

Sink your feet into some of the finest, powder-white sand in Florida. Apply gobs of sunblock—the sand's reflective qualities make it much easier to burn.
Juggle facts and fun at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in nearby Sarasota. Located on a 66-acre estate famous for its rose garden, the flamingo-pink building is impossible to miss.
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is home to 6,000 orchid varieties and 20,000 plants. A butterfly garden and spacious deck overlook Sarasota Bay.
Observe a 135,000-gallon shark habitat, 27-foot-long giant squid, and sea turtle rehabilitation hospital at the Mote Aquarium.
