The Beach
It's just a short walk to two semi-private Siesta Key beaches. 6-minute walk to beach access #13, just 4-minute walk to a beach access not labeled on the maps. The white quartz sand, tide pools, and calm, clear water are perfect for relaxing. A livelier scene with food, drinks, and the weekend drum circle is just a short 10 to 15-minute beach walk north. Point of Rocks reef is only 8-minutes south.

The Location
Wakeup, decide if you will wear shoes today, then head to Toasted Mango Café for coconut waffles. Their waffles are the best and they serve breakfast til 1PM, so don't rush. Eat there or take it to the Beach to look for dolphins, swim, bike, or just or just go back to sleep. This is a special spot so exploring will be worth the effort. I like wading out to Point of Rocks Reef at low tide. Bike rides on the beach are also amazing and it's a 6-mile loop on the sand depending on the tide. I usually skip lunch to enjoy an early dinner at Big Water Seafood, best seafood in the county, and best grouper sandwich in Florida. The sunsets are amazing, it's what leaf season in the north would be like if it happened every day, and if they had dolphins and great weather there. At nightfall you can go out or go to bed or head to The Sniki Tiki or Daiquiri Deck (my favorites), but you have to make a decision.

Reef Snorkeling
Siesta Key is already paradise now add one of the Gulf Coasts best snorkeling spots! Just 60 yards south, Point of Rocks offers safe, shallow waters filled with tide pools, colorful marine life, and shelling treasures. Most days you'll spot chameleons, sponges, mother-of-pearl shells, conch, and maybe even dolphins or turtles. Ideal for exploring by foot, snorkel, paddleboard, or kayak.
