Why Go?
01.
The sand might be a little rougher than the crystalline sands of Siesta Key Beach, but it's quieter. With serene sunsets and a higher chance of spotting wild-life, the locals love this quiet beach. It's also a great place to take a walk. With a land-bridge to Casey Key, the beach is loved by walkers, shell-seekers, and quiet picnickers alike. During the winter months, it's also a wonderful place to watch surfers.
Why is it called Turtle?
