Manatee at Coastal Breeze | Waterfront | Dock & Fishing | Turtle Beach | Siesta Key

Sit on the sofa with your morning coffee and watch the sunrise over Little Sarasota Bay. Spot an osprey diving from the dock. Grab the fishing poles and walk out the back door. Later, paddle a kayak to where the bay meets the Gulf at Turtle Beach in minutes. When you're hungry, Ophelia's on the Bay is two doors away. This is the quiet south end of Siesta Key -- tucked back from the busier resort areas, but still close to everything.
