The sand here is 99% quartz carried down from the Appalachians, which means it stays cool underfoot in full Florida sun and squeaks when you walk on it. Siesta Beach lands at #28 on the World's 50 Best Beaches list, and it's easy to see why the crowds make the pilgrimage: the water is shallow and glassy, the shoreline wide, and there's no resort wall blocking the view.
Two honors, in evidence:
The record strongest first
- World's 50 Beaches #28 · The World's 50 Best Beaches
- World's 50 Beaches #7 · North America's 50 Best Beaches
