The warmth and sun of Florida is a major attraction any time of year. Kick off summer the right way with a Siesta Key Memorial Day weekend getaway to the Sunshine State’s fun and sun you won’t soon forget by heading to Siesta Key. Pack your bags and prepare for fun in the sun, water, and even on land as you check out many of the exciting activities there are to do and see. With water temperatures already pushing toward the 80s and air temperatures in the mid-80s, you’ll enjoy every moment.

Beach Time

An island vacation without a visit to its beaches is virtually unheard of. You and your group are always moments away for the luscious sand and vibrant waters of the Gulf of Mexico wherever you are. Fill the cooler, grab the beach gear, and stake your territory with blankets and umbrellas as you prepare for a day of lounging on the shore, or a dip in the Gulf.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is a great way to get in the water and explore the area, especially in the islands. Whether you rent gear from a local shop and explore on your own or book a charter tour, it’s a magical way to see the underwater world that surrounds Siesta Key. Adventurers looking to make their own fun should try Point of Rocks, a spot known for tide pools, moss-covered rocks, and sea life in an easily navigable area. If you’ve been missing the group vibe, charter a boat with Key Life Charters where you can bring your own snacks, including adult beverages. Expand your snorkeling adventure with them by adding experiences like sightseeing, dolphin and wildlife spotting, and more for a unique and perfect trip.

Parasailing

Sail high over the water and gain a whole new perspective on where you’ve chosen to spend your Memorial Day with Parasail Siesta. You’ll take off from the deck of their specially designed and USCG-approved parasailing boat to fly high above the waters of the Gulf – up to 500 feet in the air! Keep watch on the water from your bird’s eye view for dolphins, turtles, manatees, stingrays, and other sea life. Stay dry throughout the flight or wear your bathing suit for a refreshing dip in the water before flying up again to come down safely on the deck. Bring your waterproof or disposable camera to capture the memories from your perspective in the harness. Parasail Siesta takes several professional digital camera pictures of your flight and will provide you with a memory card at the end of the trip so you can develop your pictures whenever you like. Rides are approximately 15 minutes of airtime, but the whole excursion duration depends on the number of fliers.

Paddleboard Lessons

The warmer water and air temperatures of a Siesta Key Memorial Day weekend getaway mean more time in the glistening waters of the Gulf. Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is a popular water activity for all ages and abilities. If you’ve never done it before, you can take a lesson with Siesta Key Paddleboards. They offer daily lessons at Turtle Beach Park, as well as rental gear for those wanting to strike out on their own. If you’re confident in your skills, book a guided tour of the various waters around the island, both Sarasota Bay-side and Gulf-side.

Bicycle Rentals

Siesta Key has a land area of just 2.4 miles, so there are bound to be places to explore where a rental car just can’t go. Instead of trying to see everything by car, get some exercise by exploring the many walking and biking trails that bring you closer to those sights inaccessible by car. You can rent bikes for everyone in the group! There are single-seat bikes without gears (a.k.a. cruisers), tricycles for extra balance and basket space, children’s bikes, adult bikes with baby seats, or choose to take a romantic ride on a bicycle-built-for-two! Ask about locks and extra baskets as well as safety gear like lights and helmets, and even perks like delivery to your accommodations.
