Live Webcams in Siesta Key

Siesta Key is a barrier island off Sarasota on the Gulf coast of Florida, between Roberts Bay and the open water, and the live webcams in Siesta Key watch the beach and the sky above it: the white sand that draws the crowds, the volleyball nets and umbrellas, the shallow green water, and the sunsets that gather a small audience at the waterline every evening. Siesta Key keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer, so the middle of its beach day falls in a European evening. The sand is almost pure quartz, which is why it stays cool in full sun, and a few thousand people live on the key year round. November to April is the dry season; summer afternoons bring storms that clear as quickly as they arrive.
