Sarasota Surf & Racquet Club ~ Area Info

Indulge Yourself in the Experience

Sarasota, "Florida's Cultural Coast," is a unique and diverse destination. Known for its beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise waters and spectacular weather conditions, the area is also rich in artistic and cultural heritage. You will experience the big city sophistication without the big city rush. Sarasota prides itself on its small town feeling, laid back mood and casual atmosphere - it's a locally known reality that you can go just about anywhere in your flip flops! The endless array of activities, attractions, restaurants, shopping, and accommodations are sure to please any first-time visitor or the returning "regulars." Explore master works of art, catch a round of golf, browse through shops, canoe through pristine waterways lined with mangroves, or dine on a bay front cruise - all within minutes! Or just dig your feet in the sand and sit back to watch the breath-taking sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.

About Siesta Key

Siesta Key Beach is known as one of the most beautiful beaches found anywhere. At "The Great International White Sand Beach Challenge", Siesta Key Beach was recognized as having the "whitest and finest sand in the world". Made from 99% pure quartz, the sand is a soft, flour-like texture and is cool to the touch. Shallow water depth in the near shore areas combined with year round lifeguard protection at Siesta Key's public beach, make this one of the safest and most popular beaches in the Country. Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club is right around the corner from the famous Siesta Key Village, where you will find a collage of restaurants, shops, and parlors for your convenience and dining pleasure. Siesta Key Beach is a vacation paradise for travelers, active seniors, families, and honeymooners alike.
