Turtle Beach is the quiet end of Siesta Key — it's the only beach in the area with a boat ramp right on the sand, plus a kayak/canoe launch and Sarasota County's beachfront campground next door. It doesn't have Siesta Key Beach's famous quartz sand, but it draws a smaller crowd and is a good pick if you're bringing a boat or kayak. Open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
