"Recently recognized not only among the best in the US but also one of the best in the world—ranked 12th in North America and 42nd globally on The World’s 50 Best Beaches list for 2025—this Siesta Key standout earns its fame with “powdery, blindingly white sand” made of 99% pure quartz from the Appalachian Mountains. Set on a barrier island off Sarasota, the shore has a silky, sugar-fine texture that feels as dreamy as it looks—OOO time plucked straight from daydreams." - Kat Chen
