About This Beach
Located on the southern portion of Siesta Key, Crescent Beach features the same powdery quartz sand as Siesta Beach but with a more relaxed, less crowded atmosphere. The beach has unique geological features including Point of Rocks, a limestone outcropping with excellent snorkeling opportunities and abundant marine life. Fewer facilities and more limited parking help maintain the quieter atmosphere. The crescent shape of the beach provides excellent sunset viewing angles.
