Fun in the sun is what Siesta Key is all about.:
If you are interested in watersports, there is fishing, boating, dolphin tours, and sunset cruises. There are many golf courses on the mainland, as well as a bowling alley close by. Many enjoy bicycling and rollerblading through the quaint village or taking in our spectacular sunsets with a stroll on the beach. With nearly 50 miles of canals and waterways and the surrounding bays and the Gulf of Mexico, boating is one of the most popular past times on Siesta Key. There are boat rentals, charters, and guided tours. If you like to fish, this is the place for you! With nearly 1,000 species of fish, the Key offers year-round on-shore and off-shore fishing. You may wish to try deep-sea fishing, bridge fishing, or surf-casting. There are many types of saltwater fish in our waters that will give you the fishing challenge of a lifetime including barracuda, black drum, grouper, pompano, snapper and tarpon. Fish maps and charts are sold on the Key that will provide detailed information.
