Longboat, Lido & Siesta Beaches
The beaches set along these Sarasota barrier islands are known for their long stretches of white powdery sand with plenty of space for beachgoers. In particular, Siesta Beach is famous for its sand made almost entirely of quartz, which stays cool underfoot even on hot days. No wonder it’s TripAdvisor’s “No. 1 Beach in America” and “No. 4 Beach in the World” for 2025.
