The Siesta Key Crystal classic Master Sand Sculpting Competition November 18th to the 21st.   Siesta Key Beach in partnership with Mote Marine, The Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, The Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce, Sand Lubbers, and Sarasota County is proud to announce the 1st annual Crystal Classic Master Sand Sans Sculpting contest with over $25,000 in prize money.  The proceeds from this event will go to benefit the Mote Marine’s Sea Turtle Conservation and Research program. 

Siesta Key Beach has been consistently ranked as either the #1 or #2 best beach in the United Sates by “Dr. Beach”  aka Dr. Stephen Leatherman.   Siesta Key Beach located on the barrier Island of Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida has the world’s finest whitest sand comprised of 99% quartz.  Soft and cool on the feet even on the hottest of days unless you have walked on this sand you don’t know what you are missing.  This soft and sugary quartz sand makes it perfect for building exotic sand sculptures and sand castles.  As you can see from these pictures below you tried but couldn’t make these sand castles in your sand box when you were a kid!  Hey, I grew up in New England and as hard as you tried you couldn’t make anything like this on the beaches of Cape Cod.
