There are too many Siesta Key restaurants to mention in one blog post (but I do have to note that the Broken Egg is spectacular for breakfast, especially the morning after a big night out in the village!). Other nighttime village favorites: Daiquiri Deck, which offers an awesome array of frozen drinks, and Beach Club Siesta Key, great for dancing and live music. Sitting out on the deck offers great people-watching, as well. SKOB is a great place to come at night, as there’s live music and a really fun, casual, beachy vibe. We had frozen tropical drinks, Grouper Bites, Oysters on the Half-Shell and Keith's Seafood Tacos. I also love this place because of its great open-air dining area and live music.īut on this beach day, Sarah and I opted to dine at a Siesta Key institution – Siesta Key Oyster Bar (or as locals affectionately call it, SKOB). Even though I always plan to branch out and try something new, I end up ordering these three every time because they are so good. I have three favorite menu items - Blu Cheese Chips as a starter, the Low Country Shrimp & Grits and the Bourbon Bread Pudding for dessert. One of my favorite Siesta Key restaurants – Aaron's Fish Camp – is in the village. We next headed to nearby Siesta Key Village, which is a charming, beachy village filled with restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors and shops (there are a few day spas, too – check out The Key Spa & Salon and Massage Experience). As always, I insisted we watch the sunset, which is really stunning here. We also took a long walk along the beach, stopping to swim in the clear, turquoise Gulf of Mexico along the way. We did what I always do at Siesta – spent the day relaxing on the famous powdery white beach sand. In fact, I recently spent a day, and night, here with my good friend Sarah, in for a visit from Gloucester, Mass.

I’m not at all surprised to learn that Siesta Beach has just been named America’s Best Beach by “Dr.
