2. Siesta Beach, Sarasota, Florida
“Siesta Key has many wonderful beaches on the Gulf of Mexico, where you can play, relax, or walk along the water's edge. Siesta Public Beach is renowned for its breath-taking sunsets, easy-going waves, and gorgeous, crystal-white sand. The sand is 99% pure quartz, soft and cool on the feet, and many visitors compare it to baby powder. No matter how hot of a day, the sand always stays cool to the touch. Among the many awards it has earned are: “The Whitest and Finest Sand in the World” (The Great International Beach Challenge, 1987) and “The Best Sand Beach in America” (The Travel Channel, 2004).” TripAdvisor
