If you needed another reason to plan your next getaway to Siesta Key, here it is: Tripadvisor’s 2025 Travelers’ Choice Awards have once again named Siesta Beach the No. 1 Best Beach in the United States — and the No. 4 Beach in the World.
It’s official: our slice of paradise isn’t just loved by locals — it’s loved by the world.

What Makes Siesta Beach the Best Beach in America
There’s something magical about stepping onto Siesta Beach’s powder-white quartz sand — cool underfoot, even in the midday sun. Add in crystal-clear Gulf waters, gentle surf, and unforgettable sunsets, and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect beach day.
Travelers from around the world praise Siesta Beach for its:
- Soft, sugar-white sand made of 99% quartz
- Calm, family-friendly waves perfect for swimming
- Clean facilities, ample parking, and lifeguards year-round
- Picnic areas, volleyball courts, and playgrounds
- Proximity to Siesta Key Village, filled with live music, great food, and local charm

A perfect Siesta Beach day — soft white sand, calm waves, and sunny skies make it easy to see why it’s America’s No. 1 beach.
A Global Recognition for a Local Gem
In the 2025 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards, Siesta Beach beat out countless U.S. destinations to reclaim the top spot — and earned No. 4 in the world among beaches from the Caribbean to the South Pacific.
For visitors and vacation rental guests, this recognition means one thing: you’re vacationing in a world-class destination.
