FLORIDA by KRISS on 12 december 2015
The rest of the beaches we’ve been to in Florida didn’t show us much diversity.
I have to be honest and admit that we mostly met retirees enjoying their lives by the beach.
We saw many animals too, a few species of seagulls and other see birds I really couldn’t name.
But Siesta Key is different.
After all isn’t the number one beach in the USA ? We sat on a square of this flour like white sands for the whole day, morning to noon and looked around and walked around.
We saw :
Young folks reenacting a spring break.
A couple of playmates photo shooting their bodies with their mobile phones for hours.
A group of Amish simply taking in the sea.
People cycling along the beach.
A girl performing with a hula hoop for everyone to see.
Kids playing freebee.
And so on and so forth.
In a word, Siesta Key was much more diverse and active than any other place we have been so far in Florida and it felt so good ! Besides, the beauty of the beach is in itself an eye candy.
Sands are white and powdery and the sea is turquoise.
There are 4 lifeguards barracks, one yellow, one red, one green and one blue and they add to the magic of the place.
The place is immense and were able to find a spot with no one around really close.
Then there are a few ugly buildings in the background but Florida is a flat place so don’t expect nice houses on a hill.
Also, as we have felt in all our meeting Americans in the US, people are very opened, cheerful, nice and polite.
We are always greet with a nice word when we engage in a conversation and conversing with the locals is a pleasure.
In siesta, key we spoke to the three amish girls, a group that was standing under the huge tree at the entrance of the park, the guitar player in a bar, the server in Subway, and the guy who kindly offered us a free tour in a limousine.
Not to forget the waitress who asked to take her away with us ! All of us would definitely recommend spending a few days in Siesta Keys because it just feels nice.
And as regards to photography, well please enjoy the following few shots to give you an idea !
