| Point-of-Rocks Beach is named for an unusual
outcropping of flat limestone rocks along the beach. The rocks
stretch out into the water for several hundred feet and provide
a point of interest for fishermen, snorkelers, waders, and
anyone interested in marine life. When conditions are right, Point-of-Rocks beach is one of the most interesting and accessible snorkeling spots on the Gulf coast of Florida. The water is rarely deeper than 5 or 6 feet, and there are literally acres of water less than 3 feet deep over the rocks. The best snorkeling here is during periods of very calm weather in late spring when the water is clearest. Point-of-Rocks is easily accessible from Crescent Beach and is popular with the guests staying in Crescent Beach vacation condominiums and beach resorts. There is no public access to the rocks from Point-of-Rocks Road. Siesta Key is in Sarasota County within minutes of downtown Sarasota. |
