SIESTA KEY BEACH FL | A Day on Siesta Key | BEST FLORIDA BEACHES

[@Explorcation]

Hey everyone, thanks so much for watching. Siesta Key is one of the barrier islands we first explored when we moved to Florida many years ago. We have so many great memories from the area. If you have been to Siesta Key, what is your favorite thing to do in the area? If you have any questions about the area let us know in the comments and we will do our best to answer :) If you are looking for other ideas to plan a Florida's gulf coast get away, check out our playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLOT_jgQ5dAKzNkBvqS83b6taklWlf0e1q

Perfect travel guide for me. Foodies, beaches, drinks, music..sweet! Siesta Key is very appealing to me, stoked thanks:))

[@Explorcation]

Siesta Key is probably the thing we miss most about living in Sarasota. It's still only an hour away from us now, but having it just 15 minutes away was such a luxury!

[@Explorcation]

Thanks for watching! We lived in Sarasota for 7 years, and now live just a bit to the north in St. Pete. We try to make it back to Siesta every now and then, as the quality of the beach is really unmatched.

What a beautiful day at the beach!

We were lucky, not too humid and no rain! Thanks for watching :)

[@arnoldfrackenmeyer8157]

Nice beach! But it is so crowded. Didn't expect that. Obviously it is very popular.

[@Explorcation]

Yes, very popular. The good thing is that it's a huge beach and is very long and wide, so even on the busiest days, you can typically find plenty of room for yourself if you are willing to walk a little bit!

[@williamalford4248]

Thanks for posting this. Excellent job editing and very informative. I especially liked the tip on "Public Beach Access Number 11". I'm headed down to Florida from Idaho next Tuesday. Was going to stay down in Key West, but because of your video, I decided on Siesta Key instead. You actually saved me some money as well. My accommodation in Siesta Key costs 455 dollars less over 11 days than the one I had in Key West. Thank you!

[@Explorcation]

Wow that's so great to hear that our video helped you decide to visit Siesta and save some money while you're at it! We hope you love Siesta Key as much as we do.

That mojo coffee shop looked right up my street! The beach looked so beautiful, definitely worth walking to get a quieter spot. Beach walks are fun anyway! Another great travel guide. The pacing and amount of information you provide is brilliant, and the tropical beaches and bars always get me in the mood for a holiday, haha!

[@Explorcation]

Mojo is one of our faves due to it's location on the island AND the quality of coffee. We go to a lot of coffee shops on our day trips and this coffee is top quality. Thanks so much for the kind feedback, we have definitely been working on our editing skills to keep our videos flowing 😀

[@TheMapPinners]

Wow that’s so beautiful 😍 look how white the sand is and that charming village looks awesome! I love all the restaurants and island music. Your salmon looked especially delicious. Ps I love your dress ☺️

Mojo Rise seems like such a cool coffee shop! Really like the place you had brunch as well. Love how you are getting around with scooters, that's so much fun! Wow the water is 80 degrees early May! Btw can't believe you are having desserts for dinner, those mini donuts are looking delicious though!

[@Explorcation]

It really is. It may actually be our favorite coffee shop of all coffee shops. It's soooo good! Yes, the water is really nice already, and by July it will be in the mid 80's. By August it basically feels like a bathtub!

It was one of our favorites to make as well. We love Siesta Key!

[@TheAverageTourist]

I am such a fan of your beach days... its like the perfect mix of food, drinks, sightseeing and beach time. That sand looked so soft 😍 And your martinis, mini donuts and ice cream afterwards looked great. I love how well numbered the beach access areas are too, so nice there 👌

[@Explorcation]

We agree, in each of these beach areas we think there is something for everyone. I do wish we could have highlighted one more restaurant, but I think all of the time in the sun decreased our appetite's - that is alright, i am sure not complaining about getting donuts and ice cream 😆

[@WanderingKnights]

Ooh those donuts look good 10:27 🍩

[@Explorcation]

We can confirm that they are every bit as delicious as they look!

[@TiaandAndy]

That skyway bridge looks soooooo cool. I wouldn't complain about having to drive across it. Looks like another amazing day, so many things to do in Siesta Key. Have you ever tried the Canadian version of a Bloody Mary (a Caesar), definitely delicious if you like bloody mary's. THAT BEACH 😍...you guys are making us jealous over here.

[@Explorcation]

It really is a beautiful bridge. It's especially fund to go over when the cruise ships are sailing under it! And yes, we have had Bloody Ceasars and love them. We often buy a bloody ceasar mix at one of our local markets, and it is excellent.

[@stv1_channel]

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Siesta Key looks stunning! Our favourite sand so far is in Half Moon Cay in the Caribbean. Would love to see how Siesta’s sand feels in comparison😍 You two really do have the best places to explore nearby, those Martinis looked really good!🍸 The ice cream made instantly with liquid nitrogen sounds really cool, love that idea!

You guys always come up with the best places to visit wherever you go! You also do a fantastic job of creating a throughline with your voice over. I think we can work on doing that a little better. Powder Beach at Siesta is definitely for the win! How cool is that!? OMG that Strawberry Shortcake Martini looks FANTASTIC! Can we please get a drink together when we are in Florida!?!? Loving your videos!

[@rhondalyn100]

I've recently found you and *always* appreciate that you add maps in your videos. They add visual grounding for the entire vid. I am curious to know about your back story...where are both of you from? Where did you grow up? How did you end up in Florida? What kind of work do you do that affords you such wonderful travels? Thanks for sharing such interesting videos about Florida's west coast. I enjoy them very much.

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much for the feedback. I think we have done a better job of including some sort of map in more recent videos and are glad to hear that it is helpful :) We share a bit about our story in this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/poHUpoprbKiboZo) and eventually we may share more details. We both grew up in the Midwest and had visited the Tampa Bay area with my family years ago. After many snowy, cold winters being cooped up inside for too long we decided we wanted to try living close to the beach, where we could be outside year round. We sold most of our belongings and moved to Florida, we have been here ever since :) We have both been fortunate to work for companies that allowed us to work from home and offered paid time off every year. All of our travels so far have been on weekends or using our PTO. Because of the area we live in, there are endless options of things to do only a few hours away - and when cruising was up and running, it was really easy (and budget friendly) for us to book a trip and visit multiple counties in one vacation. We do make an effort to travel on a budget. We prefer to travel on a budget multiple times a year to be able to experience as much as possible! Thanks so much for watching and for your questions too :)

[@rhondalyn100]

Hey guys, oh my goodness, Siesta Key looks soooooo amazing. The breakfast looked so yummy, made me want some bacon and eggs for dinner lol :) the scooters you guys have is just so awesome especially when you cant get parking. The sand at Siesta Key definitely looks like powdered sugar, i don't think we've ever experienced sand like this. Jamie, i just have to say, i absolutely LOVED your dress in this video, that colour is my favorite. Ah your martini looked amazing Jamie, nothing like a pink drink :) those mini donuts look like they'll light up my life. Ah i think Siesta Key stole my heart, looks like such a cool beach destination.

[@Explorcation]

Their are a lot of beach in Florid with really soft sand, but Siesta is the softest that we've experienced anywhere. I think we'll have to visit a few hundred more beaches to know where the softest sand is for sure though!

[@DS-go8mn]

Lived here 20 years, everyone I know has at least one rental house. They are making tons of money. Way better than the stock market!

[@Explorcation]

I believe it. Real Estate can be a great investment, especially at times like these when housing prices and rents are at record highs. Thanks for watching!

[@starharsh1990]

Great video! How is Siesta Key beach to visit during mid December?

[@Explorcation]

Mid-December can be a bit on the busy side, but not too bad during the week. If you enjoy a lot of activity and don't mind the crowds, then you'll probably enjoy it on the weekends as well. The water is pretty cold in mid-December, so most people don't find it comfortable for swimming, but you'll likely get some days that are great for relaxing on the beach!

[@AquariusTraveller]

This is one reason why I want to explore Florida...those really long bridges...lol. I think the longest one we have been on over here is the sea cliff bridge... really nice along the coast but we don't have any to island. These beaches your always showing in your area are magnificent... the white powder is amazing and definitely a highlight to anyone's vacation. I would be really bad at that ring toss...especially after a few drinks...haha Love love love donuts... those ones your guys got looked awesome...your making me hungry. This sub zero ice cream looks really interesting... we don't have shark tank show here but I can see why there feature of the liquid nitrogen ice cream has increased their franchises

[@Explorcation]

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is one to see, it can be a bit nerve wracking on a windy day. This particular beach is very touristy, but given the nice sand, shallow water and all of the business close by we can' t help but love it! I (Jamie) was so happy to finally try Sub Zero, it is really cool to see it made :) Thanks so much for watching!

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@Explorcation omg...I bet it would be nerve wrecking crossing those bridges in the wind... I can feel it sometimes on our reall5 high bridges. I might have to look for the sub zero over here...I'm not sure anyone does it 😁👍

[@gerlynanne4741]

Try the Boracay beach and compare the sand between siesta and boracay :)

[@Explorcation]

We have been wanting to visit the Phillipines for quite some time. It's actually Skylar's #1 spot to visit, so I'm sure we will get to experience Boracay Beach sooner or later. When we do, we will definitely compare the sand to Siesta! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, Gerlyn.

[@tatishka2346]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching all of them. In your opinion, is Siesta Key better than Clearwater Beach?

[@Explorcation]

Siesta is definitely more relaxed, less crowded, and quieter than Clearwater Beach, and the sand at Siesta is the softest we've ever experienced. Clearwater Beach does offer more to do, especially for a younger crowd. At this stage in our lives, we do generally prefer Siesta Key, although we still like to visit Clearwater every once in a while too!

How clear is the water? Do you recommend Siesta Key or Anna Maria Island?

[@Explorcation]

Clarity of the water really depends on how rough the water is. The water at Siesta (or anywhere on the Gulf Coast) is rarely crystal clear, but some days are definitely clearer than others.

[@hmj8469]

I've never been to Siesta Key beach but years ago I went to Clearwater Beach and thought the sand was very soft and wonderful. Being from St. Pete you've probably been to Clearwater so which do you prefer - Siesta Key sand or Clearwater Beach? You commented that Siesta Key Beach lacked the bard and restaurants on the beach so what beach would your recommend for that type of atmosphere?

[@Explorcation]

We just released a Top 10 Tampa Area Beaches video that I think you would really enjoy. In the video we discuss many aspects of Clearwater Beach, Siesta Beach, and several others, and how they compare (and rank) among each other. We do agree that the sand on Clearwater is wonderful, but we do believe that Siesta Beach's is slightly softer. As far as a beach to go with lots of great bars and restaurants, either St. Pete Beach or Clearwater Beach would give you the most options, but several others on our top 10 list offer great restaurants as well.

[@bridgetcaudle1316]

Siesta Key Or Anna Maria Island?

[@Explorcation]

It really depends on what you are looking for. On days where we are just wanting to relax, we pick Anna Maria. But if we're looking to do a little more than just relax on the beach, then we'll usually chose Siesta Key.

[@xevious2501]

Siesta key was just as nice decades ago, but with far less people. at least off season. In the mid 90's you wouldnt believe the sort of property that was up for sale on the island and all over town. Sarasota was still well off most peoples radar, most people didnt even know about the place outside of its past history as a retreat for older seniors, veterans and old money. but with the passing of that generation so did the realestate value become so unbelievable affordable. I cringe now, considering what i couldve owned, instead of renting long term. But that time has long passed and the gig is now up. people are well aware of one of the nations biggest secrets. but how we enjoyed it to ourselves for a decade or two prior.

[@Explorcation]

Yeah we've heard the same from many others that Siesta Key hasn't changed much over the years other than the amount of tourists/traffic. It's still one of our favorite places to visit when we actually have some free time! We can relate to your experience to some extent. When we first moved to Florida you could get a 2-BR condo on the beach around here around $200k. Sure wish we would have jumped on that opportunity! We're hoping that as we continue to travel more we'll discover an awesome, but relatively unknown and inexpensive beach town. I'm sure we'll find one, but I doubt it will be in the US!

[@xevious2501]

@@Explorcation yup during that time i was attending Ringling for computer animation. and boy do it have some stories. Anyways my last year in school was nothing short of movie making material. Job my dream job in my dream career in my junior year. and having spent the summer break at that job made enough Coin to get my dream car and rented with option to buy at a condo in Harbor towers. That's one big building. build more like a hotel than a condo. and during that time its interior decor would've only impressed characters from the Popeye the sailor man comic series. lol seems its gone thru two renovations since then. Yes not to much has changed outside of renovations that were much needed for the beach. new real-estate. And like you said, a boat load of tourist and new residents. ironically the gulf coast has become the getaway vacation for native Floridians as well as we know how vastly different it is from east coast to west coast. Atlantic vs gulf. The east is all about money on the move.. while the gulf is about keeping in tune with nature. replenishing ones self. I do miss it. its a place that just makes you feel good.
