Box has been destroyed probably by an animal and will not be replaced as it has had a long life there and the park is no longer kept up well.


Siesta Key is the first box in our west coast keys series, the other being Lovers Key. Siesta Key is located off Sarasota Bay and southern Sarasota. Heading south through Siesta Village you come to Siesta Beach. Go to the southern end of the parking lot near the tennis courts.
Leaving the parking lot, go behind the tennis courts toward the baseball/soccer fields. Between these fields and the maintenance lot is the entrance to the Sertoma Fitness Trail. Follow the trail into the woods. The workout stations were in poor repair when we planted the box so I wouldn't count on using them. Follow the trail to the station for pull-ups. Sit on the bench facing the chin-up bars. In front of you, slightly to the left, is a large, multi-trunked Austrailian pine. On the back side of this pine, about two feet off the ground, in a nook you will find the box. Please camoflage it well when you put it back so it will be there for others.

UPDATE FROM A FINDER:
wanted to let you know that the bench has been moved so when you sit on it the
tree is on the right of you and slightly behind the bench.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2008 BOX IS RETIRED


While you are here, Siesta Beach is fantastic. A wide beach with soft white sand. Volleyball courts, concession stands, clean restrooms, and FREE parking. Plan to spend some time enjoying what we all moved to Florida for, the beach. Have fun and happy letterboxing.
