Share Siesta Key this Summer with our Hashtag!

Summer is here, and there’s no better place to pass the time than Siesta Beach—the No. 1 one beach in the U.S. and No. 11 in the world.

Don’t worry if you can’t get to Siesta Beach right away because we’re bringing the beach to you all month long! Use the hashtag #SiestaBeachSummer and follow along with our weekly themes for a chance to get your photos and videos featured on our Instagram page @VisitSarasotaCounty.

We hope to make this hashtag the hub for all things related to a summer experience on Siesta Key: parasailing, sunbathing, sand sculpting, tropical drink tasting, paddling, splashing, fishing and more along the shores of Sarasota’s world-famous beach.

Share your own great times from past, present or future visits and encourage your vacation buddies to join the fun too! For the best chance to be featured on our page, work these weekly themes into your posts:

Best Beach Activity

Lounging along our white sandy beaches isn’t for everyone, so let’s explore all the ways we can quench that sense of adventure. Pickup games at the public beach volleyball courts. Reeling in the catch-of-the-day from the shoreline or a boat. Soaring sky-high strapped to a parachute. Paddling to secret beaches and snorkeling spots. Reminisce or share your new favorite beachside activity!

Best B&B

If you’re the full-service resort type, prefer a barefoot bungalow or would rather pitch a tent than ever leave the beach—Siesta Key has something for everyone. From family vacations to honeymoon soirees, let’s share all the ways you can find a home-away-from-home near the No. 1 beach.

Best Bites

For many, meals on vacation make the memories that much sweeter! Siesta has no shortage of stops to fill up any foodie. Show who’s making the most of classic local seafood sources like grouper, stone crab and oysters. From tropical drinks at a local haunt, to menus combining savory meals with sweet treats, to outdoor tables with gorgeous waterfront views—you'll find something special to satisfy your cravings.

Best Beaches Beyond Siesta

While the best beach in the U.S. may have brought you to Sarasota County, it's time for some island-hopping to discover the other unique and stunning beaches in our destination. From shark’s teeth and shells, to shopping and serenity, you might be surprised by what awaits at the other islands along our nearly 40 miles of Sarasota County beaches. Let’s share all the reasons why it’s worth planning a day off-island for a change.

Now, start pulling those pictures from your gallery and get ready to brag on our beaches for a month while you look forward to coming down for new ones!
