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.
我更喜欢这个海滩,胜过Sieste Key。海流更平静,你可以走8英尺深还是在腰深处;而且这里没有逆流。靠近礁石处有很多美丽的贝壳。我没有找到任何整个的沙钱。
