Running south from Siesta Key Beach, Crescent Beach is a popular spot for those staying in the many nearby hotels and vacation rentals. (some count it as part of siesta key beach only). It’s not a local favorite, it’s one of the quieter destinations in the area for visitors looking for peace on their trips to one of the most popular islands in the U.S.
With its sweeping coastline carves out a huge “C” where it meets the Atlantic Ocean (the crescent shape, of course, giving the area its name). it maintains an “old Florida” vibe as a quieter beach with white sand and is primarily residential.
If you’re staying along Crescent Beach, your accommodation may provide roped-off sections of glorious white sand for your enjoyment.
beautiful crescent moon-shaped beach, just right for laying out on or for strolling the strand. Soft gulf breezes. Breathtaking sunsets. It gets no better.
Parking: We used public beach access # 12 (I guess there is just one public access road, Midnight Pass Rd, and it's very easy to miss). it’s a cramp, one-way alley and only suitable for compact cars. to go back, drive forward, take a K-turn, and merge into the main street. yup as it’s one way you can find yourself stuck when someone comes from the same side. see the pic and you would understand.

In het midden van november was het weer aangenaam en verfrissend, niet te koud maar koel genoeg om van het strand te genieten. Ondanks het iets koude water nam ik een duik en was aangenaam verrast door het verkwikkende gevoel. Het zand was zo fijn dat het een heerlijk piepend geluid maakte bij elke stap die ik zette. De algehele ervaring was gewoon adembenemend en ik kon niet anders dan bewonderen de adembenemende schoonheid van dit prachtige strand.
