Siesta Key Beach Rated #3 by Dr. Beach

A few months ago Dr. Beach came out with "America's Top 10 Beaches" of 2008. Number 3 on the list was Siesta Key beach in Sarasota, Florida.

Dr. Beach is also known as Dr. Stephen Leatherman, Director of Florida International Univertsity's Laboratory of Coastal Research. He has selected the annual top 10 Beaches since 1991. 50 criteria are used to judge the beaches, including sand and water quality, as well as facilities and environmental management.

Siesta Key truly is a very pretty beach. The beach is very wide with sand that is the powdery, sugary white sand that feels good under your feet. Many of our second home buyers are people who have been vacation on Siesta Key for many years.
