In addition, surfers also visit here on very rare occasions because the water here sometimes offers Siesta Key surfing waves. In addition, this beach is also popular with scuba divers and snorkelers. There is a fantastic diving and snorkeling site near the southern end of the beach – this site is called “Point of Rocks'' and you can see many kinds of aquatic animals here.
