    We rented chairs and umbrellas and Keith and Blake provided top notch service. They were so accommodating and very friendly. Thank you both for making our beach day enjoyable. Keith even came back in the afternoon to check on us.

    Crescent Beach was beautiful. The water was crystal clear, and near the Point of Rocks, the kids had a ton of fun exploring all the shells, oysters and sand dollars. The water was a bit too cold in December to brave swimming out to Point of Rocks, but I get to see it on the drone which was neat. Access point 12 was a good spot for parking. The local hotels do take over a large part of the beach, but in general it never was an issue for us.

    We arrived around 9 am and there was plenty of parking. There are facilities near the entrance. No food available but we brought our own lunch. The beach is smaller, but the water is just as lovely with plenty of waterfront to walk. There is an area to launch a kayak or canoe and there were several people fishing. No lifeguards but signs are posted. There is also a playground and outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand. We would definitely go again when we prefer a less crowded beach and parking! There are two restaurants across the street from the entrance, too, if you want to grab a meal.

    We went here on a Sunday morning while waiting for our breakfast table to be ready. A nice little area with good music. There wasn’t much variety of vendors, or the items weren’t super practical for tourists

    This place is large and has many, many sweets options. They have many options of fudge, but I am not that interested. They have many candies for children (and adults with a kid’s sweet tooth) and many delicious chocolate options, as well as great ice cream. They also have alcohol flavored chocolate bars. I bought and loved a chocolate bar with Remy Martin cognac inside. I also bought some chocolate and nut covered toffee and mild chocolate almond cluster, both of which were fabulous. I also got two scoops of ice cream- praline pecan and cookies and cream- both of which were great. The server was very nice and friendly.

    We wanted to go to Shell Beach, but could not find the public access-- if there is access, it should be better marked.

    Wow! What a relaxing hour. My husband and I enjoyed our first couples massage while vacationing in Siesta Key. The ladies were ready for us at our scheduled time, very professional and did a fantastic job!

    I came to Sarasota with a friend to meet up with one of our college buddies for a mini-retreat. Our Sarasota friend recommended this kayak trip, and we had about the best day ever paddling around the old shark tank, soaking up rays on a breathtaking beach, and adventuring through mangrove. Saw sooooo many beautiful birds. I'm especially grateful to Justin, who was incredibly knowledgable about the history and ecology of our surrounds. He was very friendly, professional, and helpful. Best day ever!
