People & Lifestyle

It's hard to deny the charm of Siesta Key, a beautiful beachy community akin to living in a genuine paradise. Siesta Key comprises four main districts, including Siesta Beach, one of the country's top-ranked beaches, Crescent Beach, Turtle Beach, and Siesta Key Village. Because of its unique geography and location near the Gulf of Mexico, residents benefit from living close to convenient amenities provided by Sarasota while still living in an intimate community. 
 
By day, Siesta Key feels like a laidback beach town, but at night the entire area comes alive with incredible energy as younger people enjoy the nightlife and entertainment scene. There’s a great mixture of families, both part-time and full-time. People love inviting their loved ones to visit so they can show off where they live, especially by visiting the fiesta. As for communities, there is a wide variety, like the little beachy village Siesta Key Village and the gated single-family community, Sanderling Club, ideal for anyone who wants a home on the beach. There are a lot of single homes throughout the area, but just the one gated community.
 
Residents flock to Siesta Key because of its relaxed lifestyle, nightlife, and great shopping. It's a close-knit town, but there is always something to do here, with festivals happening throughout the year. Creatives appreciate Siesta Key for its vibrant arts and culture scene.
 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

The Daiquiri Deck is a world-famous location with five locations throughout Florida, including two in Siesta Key (Siesta Key and South Siesta Key). It's the perfect place to kick back and relax, share a meal and drinks with friends. Live music, tasty dishes, and the best frozen daiquiris in town combine to create an unparalleled location ideal for catching up with your loved ones and enjoying delicious food, including seafood dishes and creative cocktails. 
 
The Daiquiri Deck is open from 11 to midnight seven days a week, with a daily happy hour at all locations. After dark, things get even more fun with a rotating selection of live performances from local artists and games like corn hole and beer pong, plus other special events. 
 
When it comes to shopping in Siesta Key, there is no shortage of options, but Foxy Lady Fashions is one of the most popular women's clothing boutiques on the island. Locals love the Beach Bazaar, a one-stop-shop for swimwear and other beach apparel.
 

Things to Do
