There are two main access roads to access the island, referred to as the north Bridge and south bridge. Siesta Drive connects to the very north section of Siesta Key with a draw bridge, while the Stickney Point Road south bridge connects to the island about 4 miles to the south via a drawbridge. Stickney Point Drive leads beach-goers and residents onto the island which leads to a “T”. Making a left and heading south on the island leads to a quieter Siesta Key experience with less traffic, while a right turn navigates straight into the main public beach area and Siesta Village.
The heart of the island is positioned between the two bridges, but there are many condos and single homes located to the south of the Stickney Point south bridge, which may be preferred if a home buyer prefers more serenity.
