2019 Beach Trips

Its smooth texture has been compared to confectioner sugar or talcum powder.  Also, because the sand is 99% quartz, it retains no heat.  You could lay naked on it during Florida’s hottest month without any discomfort, but let’s not prove that point. 

As you may recall, this outing is one of our club’s favorite outings as each November they host the ……

Siesta Key Sand Sculpture Festival/Turtle Beach
Dec
no beach trip

At about 3:00, we’ll escape the sun and journey about 1 ¼ hours away to the cozy, welcoming Fred’s Market Restaurant, this time in the city of Riverview.  View their favorable “lunch-time with free beverage” costs at:
                                   https://www.fredsmarket.com/lunch-menu

The competition is modeled after other master competitions that are held yearly throughout the world.  But the Crystal Classic has become a favorite of the professional sand sculptors who have competed here. Citing the beauty and cleanliness of the pristine white sand, sculptors have remarked that their sculptures look almost as if they were "carved in marble."

In only 24 sculpting hours, (spanning the four-day event), the master sculptors create sand masterpieces, some over ten feet tall, and transform the always beautiful Siesta Beach into an outdoor art gallery.  

We will leave our beach equipment aboard the bus while we enjoy 1 1/4 hrs. at this special event.  

Because Siesta Key Beach is a very deep beach (about 1,100 feet from the parking lot to the water), we have found it muchhhhh toooo far to carry all of our beach gear.  Therefore, we have decided to leave—after viewing the sand sculptures—to go to the more accommodating Turtle Beach, about 10 minutes away. 

Although there is no lifeguard at that beach, the water temp. will only be about 74 degrees so maybe you won’t be requiring their attention anyway.  There are also no beach chair rentals available here.  You can either bring your lunch from home or purchase one at two restaurants across the street named—appropriately—the Turtle Beach Grill or The Turtles Restaurant.

 

We invite you to join us on November 18 from 8:30-7:30 when we glide on down to Siesta Key, the home of the World’s finest, whitest sand.
