Turtle Beach Resort is a relaxing island paradise with warm tropical breezes that invite vacationers to enjoy the natural beauty of the "world's finest whitest sand beach" and casual island dining. This waterfront Inn is unique to Siesta Key for privacy, charm, and island flavor. Relax in a hammock or in your private hot tub, order a gourmet meal from the restaurant next door, or fish off the Inn's boat docks.

The beach here is a natural seashell beach where the big sea turtles nest. It is very quiet and secluded with spectacular gulf sunsets, located just across the street, a three-minute walk or half-minute drive to the boardwalk. Guests enjoy kayaking or canoeing to a semi-private beach at the end of the island, about five to ten minutes away.
