Expert: ron derenzo Date: 11/19/2004 Subject: Wht is Siesta Key like for a Christmas holiday
Question Hello,
For the first time ever, our family is spending the Christmas holidays away from home. We are staying in Siesta Key. You seem to be the only closest expert to the area. I would like to know if it is a nice area. Is the Gulf swimmable at that time of year? Our kids are older 20-18-and 14. They like very active things to do. Would you be able to give me an idea of the ambience and atmosphere of the area that would be great. Thanks. Rita

We love Siesta Key. It is BEAUTIFUL>
Winter is the prime season in Southern Florida, where temperatures ordinarily range 71-77 F/22-25 C during the day and 50-60 F/10-16 C at night. Occasional winter cold snaps can occur as far south as Miami: Some winter mornings in the southern part of the state may see near-freezing temperatures, but by midday the warmth returns. In the northern quarter, however, it can be downright cold for days at a time, with temperatures dipping below freezing at night. The sun is intense at these latitudes, even in winter, so don't spoil your visit by getting too much.
The GULF is wonderful and can easily be a place to hang at mid-day.
Check out the web site I provided. YOU WILL LOVE the beach at this time of year.
Bring a sweatshirt, the nights can be a little chilly.
