This live stream looks out over Siesta Key, a barrier island off Sarasota on Florida's Gulf Coast. It is a practical way to check how the beach looks before you head out, or simply to watch the water and sky from anywhere.
Siesta Key is a narrow barrier island connected to the mainland by a bridge from Sarasota. It is best known for its long stretches of fine, pale sand, which many visitors describe as unusually soft, and for the calm, shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico along its western shore. The island has a relaxed, small-town atmosphere, with low-rise hotels, beach bars and palm-lined streets rather than high-rise development.
Depending on the view, the stream may show waves, the shoreline, beachgoers and the changing colour of the water and sky. Mornings are often quiet and good for seeing the sand before the crowds arrive. Late afternoon and sunset bring the most popular light, and summer afternoons can bring fast-building thunderstorms that change the scene within minutes.
Sarasota has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and wet, with frequent afternoon showers, while winters are mild and drier, which makes them the most comfortable season for a beach visit. The island is reached by road over the bridge from the mainland, and other cameras in the Sarasota area, including Nokomis and Casey Key, show nearby stretches of coast for comparison.
