After 18 years on Siesta Key, Crescent Beach section

The best thing about it is that you can always walk on it
because it's (mostly?) quartz and never gets hot.
The only problem is -- that wouldn't be a day trip; you would need more time.

Siesta Key beats South Beach by a mile, unless you're into building art deco. As Bonanza says, sand never gets hot, which is great for a beach. Lauderdale by the Sea beach is nice, but no comparison. And Lauderdale traffic is far worst than even Sarasota's Tamiami Trail! As for Greek food (seque alert), nothing beats St. Barbara's Greek Festival in early February. We're coming to The Villages January through March 2015 and we'll planning 3 days in Sarasota/Siesta Key so that we can eat at the Greek Festival and attend the Monongah High (WV) Alumni Reunion/Sarasota version. About 10 of us usually make it for the get-together.
