点评:Siesta Beach in Sarasota is undeniably one of the most visually stunning beaches I’ve ever visited. The sand is powdery white, incredibly soft, and doesn’t get hot under the sun like other beaches. The water is another highlight — crystal clear, calm, and with a beautiful turquoise tint that makes it feel like you’re somewhere in the Caribbean. The natural beauty of this place is truly top-tier, and for that alone, it’s worth a visit.
However, my experience was far from perfect.
I went on a Saturday morning, arriving at around 10:00 AM, thinking I’d beat the crowd. Big mistake. The beach was already completely packed. It took me around twenty minutes circling the parking lot before I finally got lucky and found someone leaving. The parking situation was stressful and disorganized, with cars clogging up the lanes waiting for spots to open up.
Once on the beach, I found the vibe to be… disappointing. There was a lot of loud, obnoxious music coming from multiple groups with big speakers, and many of the people around didn’t seem to care about keeping the beach clean or peaceful. The atmosphere felt more like a chaotic party than a relaxing beach day. It wasn’t the kind of crowd I’d expect at such a naturally beautiful place — honestly, a bit trashy or “rowdy” is the best way to put it.
This made it really hard to enjoy the serenity that the beach itself offers. I’m sure that during the week, especially in the early morning, it would be a completely different and far more enjoyable experience.
My recommendation: if you’re going to visit Siesta Beach, definitely avoid weekends — especially Saturdays — and aim to go on a weekday morning if you want to truly appreciate what this beach has to offer. Go early, enjoy the peace, the clear waters, and the soft white sand before the crowds take over.
The natural beauty gets 5 stars. The crowd and the experience that day bring it down to 3.
翻译:萨拉索塔的午睡海滩无疑是我去过的最美的海滩之一。沙子洁白细腻,柔软无比,而且不像其他海滩那样在阳光下会变得很热。海水也是一大亮点——清澈见底,波光粼粼,泛着美丽的绿松石色泽,让人仿佛置身于加勒比海。这里的自然美景堪称一流,仅凭这一点,就值得一游。
然而,我的体验远非完美。
我是周六早上去的,大约10点到,以为能避开拥挤。结果大错特错。海滩上已经挤满了人。我绕着停车场转了大约20分钟,才终于幸运地看到有人离开。停车情况令人抓狂,秩序混乱,车辆挤满了车道,等待空位。
到了海滩,我发现这里的氛围……令人失望。好几个团体用大喇叭播放着吵闹刺耳的音乐,周围的人似乎对保持海滩的清洁和宁静毫不在意。这里的氛围更像是一场混乱的派对,而不是轻松惬意的海滩时光。在如此自然优美的地方,人潮拥挤的景象出乎我的意料——说实话,用“有点粗俗”或“吵闹”来形容再合适不过了。
这让人很难享受海滩本身的宁静。我相信,在工作日,尤其是在清晨,这里会是一次完全不同、更加愉悦的体验。
我的建议:如果你要去午睡海滩,一定要避开周末——尤其是周六——如果你想真正欣赏这片海滩的魅力,最好选择工作日的早上。早点去,在人潮涌动之前,享受宁静、清澈的海水和柔软的白色沙滩。
自然美景可以打五星。但当天的人潮和体验让评分降到了三星。
