6 Beautiful Beaches in Sarasota & Venice, Florida
Turtle Beach
Turtle Beach is perhaps the most beautiful and underrated Sarasota area beach. Despite the dark, rocky sand, Turtle offers an unmatched quiet setting and a beautiful view. It’s also one of the best beach combing options around. Turtle is located on the southern end of Siesta, far away from the tourist crowds. The majority of the time (especially off-season), you will only find a few locals out enjoying the nice weather.
Here’s a sample of some shells you may find on your visit
Beautiful trees surrounding the beach create a wonderful natural setting
The beach also has a larger slope, meaning you can sit up on the hill as opposed to everyone cramming down right next to the water.
Overall, Turtle Beach is a great option for those looking for long, quiet beach walks with no noise besides the gentle crashing of the waves. Avid beachcombers, and photographers should also enjoy this beach. So grab your beach chair and enjoy a relaxing Florida beach day away from the crowds!
