Sarasota Beaches
Sarasota's area beaches are refreshingly natural with their protected wild sea oats and mangroves providing a protective habitat for the Florida wildlife. Shallow water depth in the near shore areas together with year-round lifeguard protection make them popular vacation attractions. If you want to visit these beaches, you will have to get there early because parking is limited. Beach Amenities include the following:
Sarasota's most popular beach, Siesta Key Beach, was chosen "Best Overall" in the 1987 International Sand Contest. The world wide competition included entries from throughout the world. Exotic ports like the Grand Bahamas, Barbados and Antigua rivaled for the honored title of number one. The Sand of Siesta Key was judged by David Aubrey, Director of Coastal Research at the renowned Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts, to be the whitest and finest in texture. The Siesta Key beaches could perhaps be called "The Crystal Beaches", for they are composed of billion upon billions of tiny crystals. The geology department of Harvard University found the sand to be 99% pure quartz. Siesta Key is proud of this world class title, though not surprised, one walk on the sugary soft sands of Siesta Keys' beaches will tell you why.
