1. Siesta Beach

    The quartz sand here—99 percent pure, shipped south from Appalachian bedrock—stays cool beneath your feet even as the Florida sun bears down, and the shallows slope so gently you can wade out forever. Siesta Key remains largely undeveloped, which means the beach itself, not the resort behind it, is what commands your attention.
