Snorkeling

With consistently warm temperatures and clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico, snorkeling in Siesta Key is an ideal activity during your vacation. Discover active marine life and colorful coral with Siesta Key snorkeling at these favorite spots along Siesta Key beach.

Point of Rocks on Siesta Key
Probably one of the most popular Siesta Key snorkeling spots is Point of Rocks. This popular spot is located off the southwestern tip of Crescent Beach – three miles south of Crescent Royale Condominiums. Designated by the large formation of limestone extending past the water’s surface, many coral formations and marine life have made Point of Rocks their home. Because of the area’s shallow and clear water, the place is ideal for beginner snorkelers.

Turtle Beach
Just south of Point of Rocks lies Turtle Beach. This area of Siesta Key is popular with many outdoor activities such as fishing, swimming, and snorkeling. The slightly different landscape of the beach, than that of its neighboring Siesta Key beach, offers a haven for beachcombers and snorkelers. Also, what makes Turtle Beach enjoyable is the ample parking and amenities such as public restrooms.
