Siesta Key, Barrier island in Sarasota County, Florida, US
The 3.5-square-mile island stretches between Roberts Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, featuring white sand beaches and residential neighborhoods.
The first bridge connecting Siesta Key to mainland Florida opened in 1917, replacing the previous boat and ferry transportation system.
The island contains four distinct districts: Siesta Beach, Crescent Beach, Turtle Beach, and Siesta Key Village, each with specific characteristics.
Access to Siesta Key requires crossing one of two bridges from Sarasota mainland, with regular traffic patterns affected during peak tourist seasons.
