This fully illustrated guide reviews the past century of the history of Florida's Siesta Key in the context of its ancient and recent emergence, and shows how one small Gulf Coast barrier island has become world famous as "#1 Beach in the USA."

Beginning with Amerindian settlers, the "First Floridians," all of the seminal pioneers and a steady stream of pivotal leaders are described with emphasis on their families, motivations, and challenges. Both historical triumphs and tragedies are covered to provide a balanced perspective. Lastly, the current and future threats to Siesta Key are analysed in detail, including the environmental controversies with nearby Keys, the menace of increasing red tide, and the risks of rising sea levels associated with global warming. A wonderful book about a very unique barrier Island in Sarasota County, Florida, which will engage tourists and locals alike .
