Ocean Boulevard and Beach Road lead travelers into and around Siesta Key Village. Free and paid parking lots are scattered across the Key. Visit our Maps page for more info or to request a map be mailed.
Siesta Key’s public open-air trolley (Route 77 Siesta Islander) is free for all riders. It is part of Sarasota County’s Breeze transit system. The Siesta Islander operates seven days a week making getting around convenient. The trolley route follows Ocean Boulevard to Beach Road and down Midnight Pass Road. Hop on the trolley in Siesta Key Village, at any trolley stop between the Villages, or flag down the trolley south of the South Village business district. Effective November 2024 Route 77 also connects riders to Downtown Sarasota. Every northbound trolley will proceed to Downtown Sarasota before making its way back onto the island. If you’re looking for the trolley heading toward Turtle Beach be sure to wait at a southbound stop. Download the Breeze fact sheet. Drivers on Route 77 are contracted employees and have been instructed not to solicit tips. Please reward above-average service by sending a compliment to [email protected].
