Siesta Key boasts one of the world’s most recognized beaches, and in the high season, the tourist traffic confirms that! But did you know that just a few miles south of Siesta Beach, there lies a portion of the island that is almost entirely undiscovered?
Welcome to South Siesta Key and Turtle Beach, where you just might feel like a local all of a sudden!
Check out our line-up of why we’ll always choose South Siesta and Turtle Beach when it comes down to a choosing contest. And we think you’ll agree: South Siesta for the win!
- Old Florida Charm: It’s no secret…We’re Turtle Beach’s #1 Fans! There are so many reasons to love Turtle Beach. Come and wander through our neighborhood and you’ll see heritage flora, preserved on our resort and exuding that Old Florida charm that we simply want to bottle and send all over the world!
- Peace and Quiet: Where Siesta Beach can be party-party-party (it’s known for its nightlife, after all), Turtle Beach is like a spa vacation for the senses. It’s quieter here, with a serene and calming pace of life.
- Ideal for Water Sports and Tours: Most of the islands’ kayak tours disembark from Turtle Beach. Why? Because it’s just so darn pretty here. We’ve also got marinas to make your jet ski dreams come true.
- Oh, and let’s not forget about the turtles! Turtle Beach is home to so many turtles! Just walk along the hilly dunes and see how many turtles you can count. (The appropriately named Turtles Restaurant is right next to our resort!)
- Dramatic Beach Terrain: Our beach terrain features darker colored sand with a courser texture, and we’ve got some pretty dramatic dunes that make a great perch for sitting and watching the sunset on your next relaxing getaway.
- Crescent Beach: At the very south of Siesta Beach, you’ll find Crescent Beach. Quieter than its bustling counterpart, Crescent Beach still boasts a powdery-type sand, though not as fine as Siesta Beach which means there’s more shell hunting to be had! And if you’re looking for a quiet break while still being in the thick of it, Crescent Beach is still within walking distance to many of the islands most happening locales.
On Turtle Beach, we’ve got paradise right outside our door. So come and share the view with us, why don’t you!
