Siesta Key Drum Circle Photos, Videos, and Location

This is a huge drum circle right on the beach in Siesta Key, Sarasota Florida. I love going there whenever I can. There's a good reason it was recently voted, "The Most Beautiful Beach In America." That's because it probably is. The white sands, the beautiful setting, the only thing possibly wrong with it, is the long drive to get there. If you're visiting the area, or live nearby be sure to check this one out. It's pretty well known around here, and very popular now. It's one of the biggest circles around the West coast of Florida. There are loads of drummers and belly dancers. Plus lots of families, beach going onlookers, & curious tourists. Here's some photos, videos, & more.

Bring a blanket or chair, most everyone does. It's happening every Sunday starting a couple of hours before sunset, and ends around 10 PM. It's an open free form community drum circle at the Siesta Key public beach. It meets up just south of the main pavilion between lifeguard stands 3 and 4 on Siesta Public Beach. Just follow your ears. This one is always a good time with solid musicality, dancing, and a great vibe. Some of these cats even keep on playing if it rains!
