THE HISTORY OF SIESTA KEY

Siesta Key was formed out of sands from the Appalachian Mountain. Before becoming a beloved tourist destination, it was a quiet island used primarily for fishing and farming. The Tocobaga and Calusa Native American tribes originally inhabited the area. European settlers arrived in 1846 when Captain Louis Roberts built his home on the island.

Today, Siesta Key maintains its charm and natural beauty, blending a strong sense of community with diverse attractions, shops, and dining options. Renowned for its award-winning beaches, the island invites visitors to enjoy its unique mix of tranquility, culture, and local flavors.
