Crescent Beach

There are no facilities at Crescent Beach, so you have to walk north to the main Siesta Beach to find bathrooms.
It’s laid back and less busy than Siesta Beach; there are only 20 parking spots. There are no lifeguards at this beach. You can rent beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling gear nearby.

Park at Siesta Beach or elsewhere and hop on the trolley and get dropped off at the Point of Rocks Road stop. Then walk three minutes down that road to the beach access path.

Heading further south down Siesta Key you’ll come to quiet Turtle Beach and then Palmer Point Park which does not even have a road, just sandy footpaths. We’ll describe them both in the next section.
