Siesta Key

Siesta Key is packed with amenities including exceptional shopping and dining.

Welcome to Siesta Key

Barrier island with white sand beach ranked #1 in the USA

Siesta Key is packed with amenities including exceptional shopping and dining.

Siesta Key offers stunning waterfront homes with easy access to boating and other water-based activities. Housing options on the island include breathtaking contemporary masterpieces and spacious single-family homes in a range of styles.

Market Insight: A Tale of Two Markets

The 2025 outlook for Siesta Key shows a distinct split. The luxury sector ($2M+) remains highly resilient, driven by demand for newer, hurricane-hardened waterfront estates. Meanwhile, the condo market ($500k–$1M) offers rising inventory, creating rare negotiating power for buyers looking for vacation rentals or second homes. Canal-front homes in neighborhoods like Siesta Isles are seeing particularly strong interest from boaters.

Neighborhood Guide

Siesta Key Village

The heartbeat of the island. Perfect for those who want walkability to nightlife, boutiques, and the main public beach. Properties here are often colorful bungalows and low-rise condos.

Siesta Isles

A boater's paradise. This deep-water canal community features wide waterways, private docks, and ranch-style homes that have often been luxuriously renovated.

Point of Rocks

Located mid-island, this area is famous for its unique limestone rock formations and private, quiet atmosphere. It feels more secluded and offers some of the best snorkeling on the Gulf Coast.

Turtle Beach Area

The southern tip of the key. Far quieter than the north, this area offers high-rise condos with sweeping views and direct access to a steeper, less crowded beach.

What to Love

  • #1 beach in the United States
  • Island paradise for relaxation and rejuvenation
  • Vibrant "Village" nightlife
  • Boating and water-based recreation
  • Free "Siesta Breeze" trolley service

People & Lifestyle

Living in Siesta Key means having one of the world's finest beaches right on your doorstep. The gorgeous white sand Siesta Key Beach has been recognized by TripAdvisor, the Travel Channel, and other organizations as the finest beach in the United States. The lifestyle is "barefoot elegance"—days are spent on the water or sand, while evenings transition to sunset cocktails and fresh seafood dinners in the village.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Siesta Key is home to many outstanding restaurants ranging from laidback seafood shacks to upscale fine dining.

Fine Dining & Date Night

Summer House Steak & Seafood is the island's premier chop house, famous for its Wagyu steaks and a signature Roasted Chicken that locals rave about. Ophelia's on the Bay offers the most romantic setting on the island, with tables right on the water's edge and a menu highlighting seared tuna and scallops. Café Gabbiano brings authentic Italian to the Village with a 4,000-bottle wine cellar.

Casual & Family Friendly

Siesta Key Oyster Bar (SKOB) is an island institution with dollar bills stapled to the walls, live music, and fresh oysters. Sun Garden Café is the go-to brunch spot—don't miss their legendary sweet potato pancakes. The Old Salty Dog serves their famous beer-battered hot dogs in a pet-friendly, open-air setting.

Shopping

Shopping is split between two hubs. Siesta Key Village (North) offers trendy boutiques like Foxy Lady and Island Trader Boutique. The South Village (Crescent Beach area) is quieter but offers excellent beach gear shops and surf stores like Siesta Key Outfitters.

Things to Do

Siesta Key features multiple beach accesses with beautiful white sands rolling out to the shimmering Gulf. Siesta Key Beach has repeatedly been named the #1 beach in the United States by Trip Advisor. Amenities include the Siesta Key Beach Pavilion. Other beaches include the sea turtle nesting site Turtle Beach and the popular snorkeling spot Crescent Beach.

Hidden Gems & Local Favorites

  • Point of Rocks: Just south of Crescent Beach, this is the only geological rock formation on Florida's west coast, making it the premier spot for snorkeling.
  • Jim Neville Marine Preserve: A hidden maze of mangrove tunnels accessible by kayak. It's a quiet escape from the busy beaches where you can spot manatees and osprey.
  • Siesta Key Drum Circle: Every Sunday evening just before sunset, a community of drummers and dancers gathers on the main public beach for a free, spirited celebration of the sunset.

Schools

While there are no schools directly on the island, Siesta Key is served by some of Sarasota County's highest-rated public schools, located just across the bridge:
