In fact, in the Great International Sand Challenge held in 1987, Siesta Key's Crescent Beach was rated " The World's Finest, Whitest Sand," beating out more than 30 other entries, including the Bahamas and Grand Cayman. It is clean, it's dazzling white and it feels like confectioner's sugar. Why? It's the quartz. A study of Siesta Key beach sand by Harvard University's geology department found that the sand was 99 percent pure quartz grains, ultimately derived from the southern Appalachian Mountains. Over millenniums, sand grains were carried by rivers into the gulf and down Florida's coast. Those quartz grains are very fine, without any coral or shell fragments, which results in sand with a soft, flourlike texture. Quartz sand comes from igneous rock, the kind of rock that once was the hardness of 10. Diamonds are rated 10 on this scale. Minerals of hardness 7 cannot be scratched with the point of a steel knife. The most common such substance is granite. Nobody can calculate how many eons of time have passed since Siesta Key sand first appeared from fragmented rock. But Siesta Key sand is quite old. We know this not only because of the very fine grains but also because other components of the original rock, such as felspar, mica and other minerals, have almost completely disappeared, leaving only the extremely hard quartz. The fine sand has passed through one or more "eolian cycles," as the geologists put it. Those are periods when it was blown about by the wind. Such cycles tend to knock the sharp corners off the quartz grains and help bring about the somewhat angular nature of our grains of sand. Sand is pretty shifty stuff. No beach is static all sand moves up and down the coastline because of the wind, storms and ocean currents. The shifting dune is a common phenomenon in sandy areas. If the sand is eroding in one place, it's building up somewhere else. Prevailing winds roll the surface sand from the bottom of the windward side of the dune over the top and down the leeward side, so that in time, the entire dune may be rolled for miles. Siesta Key's beaches have been recognized for cleanliness, water quality and safety by one of the world's top experts, Dr. Stephen Leatherman (aka "Dr. Beach") of the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, and qualifies as a Blue Wave Beach by the Clean Beaches Council. The Travel Channel ranks Siesta as one of Florida's and America's top ten beaches. So now you know why Siesta Key sand is ranked tops in the world. It feels soft and cool on your bare feet, even in the strongest Florida sun, and that means great beach walking. Sculptors love it too, because it packs down firm and smooth, which makes for awesome sandsculptures at our beach contests. No wonder so many beach lovers of all ages come to Siesta Key whenever they can. We look forward to seeing you at our beach very soon. www.siestakeychamber.com · "your best bet" Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel Magazine F 6772 Sara Sea Circle, Siesta Key, Fl 34242 9 www.captivabeachresort.com Table of Contents Thank you for supporting the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce and for your contributions to the 2009 Visitors Guide & Buyers Index.

The history of Siesta Key does not go very far back in time, as histories go. Even the land is new, geologically speaking. Florida, including Siesta Key, is part of a large plateau which lay submerged in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, and in its present contour makes up the youngest land mass in the United States. Early island denizens were strange and exotic beasts such as rhinoceroses, camels, mastodons, sabertoothed tigers, large pigs and small horses. Human inhabitants, whose ancestors probably migrated to this area across a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska, put in an appearance approximately 1,000 years ago. The 10 known Indian mounds between Midnight Pass and the north end of the Key indicate that these people were hunters of shellfish and small game. · www.siestakeychamber.com In addition to the members of the Timucan and Caloosan tribes, occasional itinerant Cuban fishermen erected temporary dwellings along the water's edge. However, the threat of slavery and religious conversion by the Spaniards sent many of the Indians scurrying northward to Tampa. In the late 1700s, pirates ruled the Gulf of Mexico; slaverunning and rumrunning were flourishing businesses. The situation became so serious that in 1918 the United States government sent an antipirate squadron to protect the Gulf Coast territory. For a period of 50 years during the 17th century the west coast of Florida, including Siesta Key, was dropped from the political plans of the great colonizing countries. They were simply too busy protecting their interests on the east coast. Warring with the Indians over ownership of land continued, however, and it wasn't until 1938, 100 years after the first white man settled on Siesta Key, that Billy Bowlegs, representing the Indian faction, signed a peace treaty with the United States government. In the meantime, all the fussing and feuding had cost the U.S. government approximately $1 million a year, a tidy sum in the old days. The tourist trade Captain Louis Roberts built a large house in anticipation of a large family and settled down to the business of catching and curing fish, chartering fishing trips and doing a little farming. His wife, Ocean Deep, however, turned out to be a marvelous cook so they began taking in boarders, a venture which proved more profitable. In 1906 they enlarged the house and called it the Siesta Inn. The Inn was famous for its cuisine, especially the fish chowder, and Captain Roberts must have been his own best customer, because he weighed 350 pounds when he died in 1941. Through the years, the Siesta Inn, on what is now called Roberts Point Road, attracted some colorful clients. Artists, professional and amateur, adorned its walls with local scenes, and one opera singer was reputed to have left her grand piano there. Some of the famous boarders included Cecile B. DeMille, Bette Davis, Charlton Heston, Dorothy Lamour, Agnes Morehead, Cornel Wilde and Betty Hutton. In 1950, the cast of "The Greatest Show On Earth" preferred to retreat to the quiet serenity of the inn on the Key after a hard day's shooting. Ben Stahl wintered at the Siesta Inn and it is said that Hilton Leech moonlighted as a waiter there in earlier, leaner days. Sarasota Mayor Harry Higel jumped on the tourist bandwagon and built his Higelhurst Hotel at the entrance to Big Pass in 1914. In order to assure a steady trade, he ran his own boat the "H.L.H." to fetch passengers from the mainland. Reputed to be the largest and most beautiful hotel on the west coast of Florida, the Bay Island Hotel, situated on 10 acres, opened its doors in 1912. It featured three stories, 65 rooms, and fine food all you could eat for $1. The broad porch of the Bay Island Hotel was the inspiration for a very unusual club. Founder Thomas E. Saxe describes the Sittin' and Rockin' Club: "As president I preside over meetings that are never held. Cards are issued to members in good sitting as well as rocking chair operators' licenses and a six m o nt h calendar to remind people to rock more." The Bay Island Hotel was purchased by Marjorie Hamilton in the 1930s. She installed unheard of modernizations, including central heating and a bath for every room. A few Siesta Key hotels, such as the Gulf View Inn, were removed in the name of progress, but sadly most of the old inns, sooner or later succumbed to fire. Poor Harry Higel stood on the Sarasota shore and watched helplessly as the Higelhurst went up in flames just a short month before the first bridge connecting the Key with the mainland was completed in 1917. The loss cost Harry $20,000. The Bay Island Hotel burned in 1952. The Siesta Inn had its fire in 1922, but the invincible Captain Roberts built it up again in 1923. He claimed the new hotel was not only bigger and better, but was fireproof and hurricaneproof. And he may have been right it stood until being torn down in 1996.

Walking along or swimming and playing in the Gulf of Mexico, or merely basking in the tropical sun is enough fun for many folks, but others are drawn by the Public Beach's many amenities: tennis and volleyball courts, shaded playground and picnic area, and convenient concession stands. Shallow water near the shoreline and yearround lifeguard protection make it a great family beach. Beach wheelchairs can be borrowed to help special needs visitors cross the sand.

There's also a boat launch, and fishing is permitted in the adjacent Blind Pass Lagoon. There are restaurants nearby, with shopping and a few local night spots just a short drive away. Turtle Beach is a narrow beach, with a somewhat steeper incline. The sand on the beach tends to carry more shells, making it perfect for beach combers and shell collectors. Many find petrified sharks' teeth to take home and treasure, especially after a storm. Campground Information From sunrise to sunset, there's nothing quite like the experience of camping on a Florida beach. Turtle Beach Campground, located on Siesta Key, offers one of the few remaining opportunities to park a recreational vehicle (RV) or pitch a tent near the Gulf of Mexico and wake up the next morning under the Florida sun. The park features 40 sites for camping, with areas for both RVs and tents. Electricity and cable TV hookups are available.
