New York Times uncovers the Hidden Treasure That Is Siesta Key!

I just had to share with you the article from the travel section in today's New York Times regarding visiting Siesta Key, and in particular doing so in the warm summer months. I will paste the link below and say that the article is SPOT ON. The only other things I might add:  if you're interested in Renting a place here you should not miss www.SiestaKey.com and of course should you decide you want to own here - then visit www.RingTheWingers.com.

and I love the caption on the photo:

Fate smiled on Siesta Key, near Sarasota on Florida’s Gulf Coast, giving it powdery white quartz sand that stays cool even in the hottest summer weather.

 

Enjoy and See you soon!

Doctor Beach Picks Siesta Key Again!

Link below to an article in today's Sarasota Herald Tribune listing Dr Beach's top 10 beaches in the US. This year Siesta Key is number three in the United States including Hawaii!  We have our own list of favorite local beaches and Siesta is right up there but we love the natural beauty of Caspersen's Beach down in Venice (and we love to hunt for shark's teeth there too!) and we love the beach accessible by boat at Midnight Pass between Siesta and Casey Key. In fact there isn't a bad beach in the bunch here on the Suncoast!  Anyway here's the top 10 and then a link to the article.  Another reason why we think of this place as paradise!
