Siesta Key Beach

featuring

The Pavilion Cafe, an above-average concession stand, is nearby, if you decide not to enter the Festival.  It has an upper deck with picnic tables, so you can grab your lunch, a snack or a drink. (You can bring alcohol to Sarasota County beaches, as long as it is not in a glass container.)

If you decide to stake out your spot on the beach first, we'll be at Siesta Key until 3:30pm, so you'll have plenty of time to take in the sculptures, sample the foods, shop at the vendor booths and relax at the beach.   Our favorite shop, Sand Ornaments by K-Star, sells Christmas ornaments made from sand.  They are very detailed, durable, and make great stocking stuffers.

Liability Waiver:  The BBC has a revised Liability Waiver specific to our club.  Even if you have signed a liability release form in the past for our club, we are asking that you sign the revised one.  Please click on link below, print and sign, and give the form to your bus leader on this trip. 

Before you click on the waiver, one of these is good for your lifetime.  PLEASE do NOT submit these for every trip!!!

If you've not been to Siesta Key Beach previously, it is the widest beach we visit ... so wide that the county installed beach mats to help navigate the soft sand.  Be prepared for an 1,100' trek to the water......but definitely a worthwhile trek!  There are beach wheelchairs available on a first come, first served basis at the Pavilion. 

There are no lifeguards at Siesta Key Beach this time of year.

Siesta Key is a 5-star, naturally beautiful beach. It was ranked #1 Beach in the USA in 2020 by Trip Adviser.  The water is gorgeous and the quartz crystal, powdery sand is some of the softest, coolest sand in the world. Come join us on a trip to Siesta Key Beach!

Please note that as of 10/12/22, the beach conditions were reported as good, the water color had returned to "clear", and no floating debris or algae is being report in the water or on the beach.  This is great news!

Upon arrival at Siesta Key Beach, you may immediately attend The Classic International Sand Sculpting Festival, hang out at the Pavilion Cafe, or head directly to the beach.  The Sand Sculpting Festival, hosting 24 competitive artists, takes place directly on the broad, white, glistening sand.  The artwork is beyond your expectations! You do NOT want to miss this!

As an added bonus, the Festival now has an event stage, live music and food trucks!  In addition to the sculptures, the Festival has grown to include 80+ vendors.  A ticket is required to enter; but a senior citizens discount is given, bringing the ticket cost to $8.  You may prepay using link below or purchase at the gate.  The price is the same either way.
