Today Avery and I HAD to take advantage of the gorgeous weather Sarasota is experiencing right now. So, we packed a lunch, grabbed some buckets and shovels and went to the beach. Anyone who lives in Sarasota or has visited Sarasota knows what a nice beach we are lucky to have access to. It was a great day!!!
Below is info on Siesta Key Beach: Check it out.
Siesta Beach is located on Beach Road on Siesta Key. Siesta Beach is known as one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere in the world. At the "Great International White Sand Beach Challenge" held in 1987, it was recognized as having the "whitest and finest sand in the world."Unlike beaches elsewhere that are made up mostly of coral, Siesta Beach's sand is 99% quartz. Even on the hottest days, the sand is so reflective that it feels cool underfoot. It's estimated that the sand on Siesta Beach is millions of years old, and started in the Appalachians and flowed down the rivers and was eventually deposited on the shores of Siesta Key.Shallow water depth in the near shore area together with year round lifeguard protection, makes this one of the safest beaches in the County and great for small children.
Neat, Huh?
