Siesta Beach is known as one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere in the world. At the Great International White Sand Beach Challenge held in 1987, it was recognized as having the whitest and finest sand in the world. Unlike beaches elsewhere that are made up mostly of pulverized coral, Siesta Beach's sand is 99% quartz, most of which comes from the Appalachian Mountains.

The southern portion of Siesta Beach is alternatively called Crescent Beach, which extends to the sea wall and Point of Rocks, an area with coral and active marine life.
