I've been going to this beach in Florida since before I was born. My parents loved this place and I have tried to make a trip there at least once a year like some kind of logger head sea turtle returning to the sands of its birth ever since.
The sand is almost pure white clear since it is 99% pure quartz crystal. It is the texture of fine powder sugar. In the middle of the hottest day the sand is cool because it is so reflective. When I was a kid I thought all beaches were like Crescent Beach. The giant arc of sand is created by a natural rock outcropping called Point of Rocks.
The white soft sand and warm slat water rejuvenate my soul . My next visit there will be in August of 2010 which seems like a long way away, So if your ever on the west coast of Florida near Sarasota stop off at Siesta Key and enjoy the fine sands of Crescent Beach!
