🌊 Siesta Key Beach + Boating Update 🌊
Heads up — today looks calm, but it’s a little trickier than it seems. There’s a Small Craft Advisory until 3PM, meaning choppy water for smaller boats, jet skis, kayaks, paddle boards and pontoons. Winds are gusty, waves are building (3–5 ft, with some sets near 6 ft), and even the bays are feeling it.

Check the tides and keep an eye on afternoon storms. Stay safe & enjoy the view — Siesta never disappoints.

I didn’t plan to get into the water this morning on Siesta Key. But I ran into someone who knows this beach well. He told me he walks barefoot—out to the sandbars—even in winter🥶 . So I walked in and tried. Broken pieces at first. Then my first whole sand dollar! 🐚🙏 This is why I continue to come out here…

If you’re at Turtle Beach this morning, you aren’t dreaming. We’re officially "socked in" by a massive wall of Sea Fog. Advection fog forms when warm air moves over colder air. I'll take this over a any day! It’s beautiful, it’s eerie, and it’s hard to see! Keep your bags close to you.
