Siesta Key is a barrier island that is just 8 miles long. Many who live on "The Key," consider it to be paradise. With its white, sandy beaches and wooded byways, Siesta Key epitomizes the quintessential Florida way of life.

At its center lies a quaint village, a bustling area with a wide variety of amenities. Siesta Key has cozy neighborhood markets, casual and elegant dining, and an array of galleries and design boutiques.

The island is accessible by two bridges. The main beach is approximately 6 miles long and is known worldwide for powder-soft sand. In an international contest, Siesta Key Beach sand was judged to be the whitest and finest sand in the entire world. The shallow depths make it a very popular beach.

There are single-family homes, high-rise condominiums, and upscale bay and gulf front residences. From the artists and writers who call Siesta Key home, to the village "Keyites," to the exclusive waterfront residences, Siesta Key has a unique, mystical and special charm.
