If you are staying in Siesta Key, you can take the Siesta Key trolley to Turtle Beach. If you couldn’t tell, I love sea turtles. This includes things like flashlights, lanterns, and even light in a hotel room/house. If you’re on the beach at night during turtle season (May through October), please keep light use to a minimum as the light may also prevent a sea turtle from coming to shore to lay their eggs. Another thing that can spook turtles is lights. This is important because sea turtles already have so many hurdles that we don’t want to start their lives out more difficult than they need to be.

If they try to nest unsuccessfully too many times, they will eventually nest in a less-than-optimal area. If you happen to see a sea turtle, please keep some space between yourself and the turtle because they can get spooked and return to the water without laying their eggs. Sea turtles use this beach to lay their eggs. You can camp with a tent or an RV and there are both restrooms and hot showers. But important notes are that no campfires are allowed and no animals are allowed, with the exception of service animals. You can find additional information about the campground and book your reservation here. This is a big deal because there aren’t many campgrounds with direct beach access in Florida. The Turtle Beach Campground is located just steps away from the beach. It would be really fun to rent a paddleboard or kayak then relax on the beach afterwards! Turtle Beach also has a volleyball court, playgrounds, and a small packed-sand walking path with views of the beach. Right across the street from the beach, you’ll find Blind Pass, which is a great place to launch a kayak or paddle board! Siesta Key Paddleboards are conveniently located there for all your rental needs. He was alive so I put him back, but finding sea urchins has been a rare experience for me so I was really excited! Things to do at Turtle Beach The shelling at Turtle Beach is wonderful! I found so many amazing shells to bring home. You are not likely to find the same crowds that Siesta Key brings. My favorite thing about Turtle Beach is that it is quiet. Parking here is close and huge bonus, it’s free! Crowds (or Lack of!) As a beach lover, I firmly believe that beaches are worth the hike. Or we find close parking but the beach is wide so you trudge through the sand with all your gear for what feels like forever. We’ve all been to beaches where we have to park far away from the beach. I was in awe of all the colors! Parking at Turtle Beach In my opinion, this makes it all the more gorgeous as you have an amazing vantage point. It was absolutely stunning and I could not get enough! Turtle Beach has a bit of a downward slope to it. The water was so many shades of blue and green. What People LOVE About the Sea Spray Resort CHECK RATES FOR SEA SPRAY RESORT IN SIESTA KEY, FLORIDA
