Rented Fun: A Full Guide to Beach Gear Rentals on Siesta Key
Gearing up for the beach can be a hard task to juggle, especially if you are packing up the whole family. With summer clothes, living essentials, sunscreen, and beach bags, there is little to no room left for beach chairs and boogie boards. If you are traveling to Siesta Key by plane or looking for a more comfortable ride in the car, make it easy on yourself and rent all of your beach gear and equipment from our local rental shops. Your friends here at Best Western Siesta Key are more than happy to point you in the right direction when it comes to your beach day and vacation needs. From bikes and kayaks to strollers and umbrellas, we have you covered with a complete gear guide for Siesta Key rentals!
Family Beach Gear
First on our list are the most important beach day essentials. Just one mile from Best Western Siesta Key is Ride and Paddle by Siesta Sports Rentals. However, the distance may not matter since they offer free beach gear delivery services right to Siesta Key. You can also pay a small delivery fee if you plan to enjoy any of the other amazing beaches up and down the coast. Their inventory covers everything from strollers and pack n’ plays to umbrellas and chairs, as well as beach carts and wheelchairs. Have a fun day in the water with their rented snorkel gear, skimboards, boogie boards, and more.
Bikes and Scooters
Our favorite way to explore Siesta Key on land is by bikes and scooters. Choose from cruising on the sand or bike path with a traditional two-wheeler or an electric bike. You and the family may also have a blast driving around town on a two-man scooter or sitting inside a novel scootercar. Siesta Key Bike and Kayak makes your vacation rentals easy by offering rates by the hour, day, or week. Inquire about car racks to transport your bikes across town or their delivery and pickup services.
Watersports and Boats
It is hard to visit Siesta Key and not spend a day paddling or jetting across the magnificent waters off the Gulf coast. Choose between a relaxing and calm kayak ride or a Stand-Up Paddleboard adventure. Both Ride and Paddle and Siesta Key Bike and Kayak offer convenience and great rental prices for your day trip, long weekend, or full week in paradise. If you are feeling the “need for speed,” Siesta Skis will get you and your party set up with jet ski rentals for one to four hours of fun on the water.
Boat Cruising
The Florida coast is said to be a boater’s paradise. So, if you love parasailing, sunset cruises, or spying dolphins and other marine wildlife, check out Siesta Key Watersports. Book your spot on one of their signature cruises or rent your own boat to soak up the Siesta Key sun while feeling the salty wind through your hair. Boat rentals are a wonderful way to spend quality time with the family while making sure everyone has a smile on their face all day long.
Siesta Key is not only home to the best beaches in the world but offers the luxury of convenience and excitement at every corner. Whether you love to plan ahead or take your vacation day by day, many of our local rental shops offer online bookings or in-person reservations. To make the most out of your trip, talk to us during your stay here at Best Western Siesta Key and we will be sure to point you in the right direction.
