Dr. Beach Tells The World….

Dr. Stephen Leatherman, Director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research – and also known as “Dr. Beach” — knows what makes Siesta Key Beach world-class: the bright white sand, turquoise water, sunshine, and cool breeze.
Repeatedly, I hear from friends and family who have enjoyed the best beaches in the WORLD: “Siesta Key Beach has the best sand we’ve ever seen.”
Dr. Beach considers factors like water temperature, cleanliness, weather, sand, safety, and the all-important water cleanliness…something quite appealing to beachcombers.
Siesta Key Beach Is Clean & Alluring!
Oh, you’d better believe Siesta is alluring…and clean.
If you have kids (of all ages), forget trying to schedule any other Sarasota attractions when visiting or vacationing here. Let me tell you from experience (with my own kids) and friends’ and families’ kids: Once your kids experience Siesta Key Beach, you will have to pry them away with a crow bar.
Kids LOVE digging at the beach...for HOURS!
For HOURS, kids will dig…jump into the water…dig some more…back into the water…and dig some more. Back and forth…back and forth.
And they’ll do this for hours, I tell you.
Beyond digging and swimming, Sarasota is blessed with world-class artists who pop in every now and then to dazzle beachcombers with amazing sand art.
