Welcome to day number nine of our Discover SRQ series. And you can't mention Sarasota, Florida, without talking about Siesta Key. Siesta Key is a barrier island here, of one of our many barrier islands, and the one that I grew up the closest to, and it's a very, very special place as you divide it from other similar kind of places. So not only is this barrier island ranked number one in the United States, several lists, it's also been ranked, I believe, 10th or 11th in the entire world as far as beaches go. One of the most unique things is the quartz white sand, that folk lore of how that happened or whatever it may be, but you have sand that literally in a hundred degree day does not get hot to the touch. It's powdery, sugary kind of sand.

You also have a island that's about seven to eight miles end to end, and it hugs just six miles south of downtown Sarasota, which is great, but it also... You have the main Siesta Key Beach on the north side of the island, you have in the middle of the island, you have Crescent Beach, and then on the south end of the island, you have Turtle Beach, which is a little bit more residential feeling. So you have three beaches you have access to that cover one of the best parts of the mainland of Sarasota that it borders and then the shopping districts.

So where you're going to have here is you're going to have your prototypical vacation beach when you think of it. When you go to Siesta Key Village or Crescent Village, Siesta Key Village is the main one that's right next to the main beach, it is that very beachy, kind of locals local feeling island. You have Siesta Key Oyster Bar, you have the Daiquiri Deck, you have the Broken Egg restaurant, that breakfast place that Dick Vitale is high on. You have all these things, and it doesn't look like a Long Boat Key or like a Naples Beach, really. It looks very different, and it's what you want when you visit Florida. So anyway, there's many special things about Siesta Key, but that has to be on a list when you're talking about how to discover Sarasota and what's special.
