Beaches

A favorite with locals. A quieter, laid-back Siesta Key beach with slightly darker sand and a relaxed, Old Florida feel.

My pick for a quieter Siesta Key beach day. The same beautiful Gulf waters with a more relaxed, residential feel than Siesta Key's main beach.

The Sarasota icon. Famous for its powder-soft white quartz sand, wide shoreline and beautiful Gulf sunsets — and just 3 miles to Magnolia House Sarasota.

Beach day meets St. Armands. A beautiful stretch of Gulf beach that's perfect when you want to pair time by the water with lunch, shopping or cocktails on nearby St. Armands Circle.
