Siesta Key Basks in 80 degree February Weather

On Valentine's Day we had the coldest weather of the season here on the west coast of Florida. I woke up to ice on my car windshield and frost on the front lawn in St. Petersburg. But by the following day, I found myself on Siesta Key beach in such a crowd you'd think it was late April!

In shorts and a t-shirt I walked the beach for hours down on Turtle Beach, exploring the shifting sands just north of Midnight Pass. The hurricane damage to the sea oats at Turtle Beach has still not been repaired--just piles of sand by the road. But as for the rest of Siesta Key, hurricanes are far from anyone's mind as we all bask in the best beach weather possible in February.

Siesta Beach is the best of all beaches on the lower west coast of Florida, and this week is the best of all weeks to be at the beach.
