Turtle Beach – 8918 Midnight Pass Rd., Sarasota, FL 34242
Turtle Beach has seen quite a few amenities added in recent years, which means that it's not quite as quiet as it once was. It's still less crowded than many of the most popular beaches around Sarasota, and certainly deserving of a spot on this list. Amenities at this beach include a boat ramp, canoe launch, fishing pier, picnic areas, and a playground for kids. Don't have your own canoe or kayak? You can rent everything you need for a day on the water from the equipment rental station on this beach. The beach got its name because it's home to a sea turtle nesting habitat, and there's even a classroom here where kids can come to learn about nature. -

If you walk south along the shoreline of Turtle Beach, eventually you will reach Palmer Point Beach, the perfect place to continue your waterfront stroll.
