The Beach
Skip the crowds and commercial feel. Coral Cabanas offers Key West-style charm and beach access #13—quieter, more private, and just across the street. With no public parking nearby, this cove is one of Siesta's most exclusive beaches. The white quartz sand, tide pools, and calm, clear water are perfect for relaxing. A livelier scene with food, drinks, and the weekend drum circle is just a short beach walk north. Point of Rocks reef is only 60 yards south.

The Location
No car needed. Nestled on a quiet street with no traffic, businesses, or public parking. Walk 7 minutes to Siesta's top eco-adventures—boat, bike, jet-ski, and fishing tours. Prefer to relax? Sunbathe on the balcony, nap in a hammock, or enjoy Siesta's top-rated seafood, ice cream, and waterfront dining. Just a short stroll to favorites like Daiquiri Deck, Sniki-Tiki, Crescent Club, and Orange Octopus.

Reef Snorkeling
Siesta Key is already paradise—now add one of the Gulf Coast's best snorkeling spots! Just 60 yards south, Point of Rocks offers safe, shallow waters filled with tide pools, colorful marine life, and shelling treasures. Most days you'll spot chameleons, sponges, mother-of-pearl shells, conch, and maybe even dolphins or turtles. Ideal for exploring by foot, snorkel, paddleboard, or kayak.

Point of Rocks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this great property! The unit was clean, comfortable, quiet, and so close to the gorgeous beach! Access to both Siesta Key Village and Sarasota is so convenient! We love the quaint beach vibe feel of the neighborhood! We enjoyed beach walks as well as a long walk along Midnight Pass Rd. We especially liked paddling out to Point of Rocks and then getting ready to head for dinner. This place can't be beat and we will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend!
