North America’s 11 Best Beaches
7. Siesta Beach | Florida, United States
The sand is central to Siesta Beach’s identity. Rich in quartz, it gives this Siesta Key shoreline in Florida a remarkably pale, powdery appearance. Against it, the Gulf water can seem especially saturated, turning an ordinary view of umbrellas and walkers into a study in contrast. The broad beach invites a longer look, while changing weather and water conditions still call for the usual coastal caution.
