Crescent Beach reviews
-
Clean but small beach. If you want plenty of room to spread out in and have amenities, drive to Siesta more »
-
The white soft sand and beautiful scenery are unlike other beaches. It’s a short walk to the water. The soft lure sand feels so good on your feet, it’s like walking on baking flour. Not many birds..... more »

Probably our favorite beach on Siesta. There’s no public parking on the southern end so you have to know an owner to get close to Point of Rocks.

Beautiful beach free parking great place to see the sunset. I've been to a lot of beaches in Florida this one is right up there among the top.
