The warmth and sun of Florida is a major attraction any time of year. Lounging in the sun or splashing around in the water of the Gulf of Mexico is a fun and relaxing way to while away the time on a Florida getaway, but you’ll want to make sure to experience some of the Siesta Key Halloween fun and excitement when you plan a fall break around one of the spookiest days of the year.

Choose Your Own Adventure

Don’t forget you came to Siesta Key to rest and relax in the Florida sun as well as to have some Halloween fun. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor activities that don’t necessarily have a spooky theme. Gather your group and head to the beach for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, sandcastle building, and more. Get out to some of the indoor attractions like escape rooms, museums, galleries, restaurants, shopping and an endless number of other activities. You can also choose to decorate your rental with removable, non-damaging decorations or create a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt or other activity that keeps you closer to home and away from the larger crowds of official events.
