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.
