Number 1 rated beach in the USA. Although I like Lido Beach as well since its a 5 minute walk and essentially the same sand. However, Siesta Key has a lot of restaurants and other lively activities.

Great drive to Anna Maria Island - which is at the end of the Key's. Awesome donut shop where you custom make your donuts. Believe it or not, my favorite is the bacon and cheese donut.
