Siesta Beach, voted # 1 Beach in the US... Again!
TripAdvisor ranked the Sarasota County shoreline No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 5 in the world in its 2017 Travelers’ Choice Awards. Siesta was the only U.S. beach included on the international list.
“Dr. Beach” Leatherman ranked Siesta at No. 2 on the list. “With some of the finest, whitest sand in the world, this beach attracts sand collectors from all over. Siesta Beach has clear, warm waters ideal for swimming. The beach is hundreds of yards wide in the shape of a crescent, due to anchoring of onshore rocks to the south. This beach is great for volleyball and other types of recreational fitness,” he wrote at the time.
