www.LloydDobsonArtist.com

Siesta Key is an eight-mile-long barrier island off the coast of Sarasota, Florida, that features a tropical atmosphere such as white sands, and several waterfront

condos and resorts. Siesta Key is a wonderful find, such a great beach,

great weather and wonderful people to meet.

Like most of the vacationers to the Key you will definitely want to check out the Siesta Key Beaches including the world famous Siesta Key Public Beach, rated

as the 2nd best beach in all of Florida by cable-TV's "The Travel Channel."

There are over 100 boutiques, cafes, restaurants and bars in the Siesta Key Village. Siesta Key Village is not overly large to navigate by walking. It all lies

within a 3 to 4 block area.

Types of ActivitiesThere are several water sports rental places, several boat tours and fishing charter businesses, Point of Rocks for

shore shelling, scuba & snorkeling, gear rentals, kayaking & canoeing,

parasailing & paragliding, dolphin & whale watching, fishing charters &

tours, waterskiing & jetskiing and more.

Many activities in Siesta Key take place right on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Visitors can

enjoy sunbathing, boating, sailing, beach volleyball, nature walks, swimming, cave

exploring, watching street performers, birdwatching and wildlife viewing. Siesta Key is home to several state-owned parks, and many

offer beach access. These parks are idyllic destinations for picnicking, camping and hiking.

EventsSiesta Key Farmers Market a best kept secret operates every Sunday morning in the Village. A great way to spend a

vacation, seeing local artists and local businesses selling their products. It goes from 8am to 1pm and most are closing up at 1pm so come early and hangout and listen to the live music!

A super way to spend Sunday

morning! Have a tasty breakfast at one of the many

restaurant choices in the village. Then

visit the market before heading to

the beach.

The market is located in the parking lot of the Davidson's Pharmacy at the 5100

block of Ocean Blvd. The market includes many vendors such as fresh fruits and veggies by Yum Yum Tree,

Fouta Spa towels, hand made pottery, Vinsoy hand made candles by Kim

Johnson.

Tropical silk paintings by Rita Van Gorder, plant varieties of bromeliads by Jason Mellica, photography by Mike Lee Beck and renowned artist Lloyd Dobson Artist exhibiting tropical beach themed oil paintings with FREE shipping to the lower US 48 & Canada and many more

vendors including live music.

After walking the beach come into the Village and check out some of the

restaurants, bars and boutiques. One of my favorites is The Hub Baja Grill

located at the stop sign. Pan-Latin fare & margaritas are the draws at this festive, tropical-themed eatery with live music.

Another favorite is The Cottage. The staff are friendly, you feel like they could be family. They have a couple of nice sitting options, I.e. front porch to watch the people walking by, inside if it's too hot and the inner courtyard which has some great island music. The food is above

average with some Asian and other influences. Great spot to meet folks.

My Favorite Sunday Funday afternoon schedule is the following:

1) Breakfast sandwich from Alex's Village Cafe booth at the Siesta Key Farmers Market.2) Selling my paintings at the the Siesta Key Farmers Market.

3) Going to The Hub for a great lunch, island live music and adult beverages after leaving the Siesta Key Farmers Market. 4) Late afternoon for reggae music by Desi Adams and great food at Gilligan’s Island Bar.

Now let’s take a look at some of Lloyd Dobson Artist latest tropical beach

scene creations.

It is a Sunday morning tradition since 2008 from 8am to 1pm, the Siesta Key

Farmers Market located in the Village at 5104 Ocean Blvd. Affordable oil

paintings by Lloyd Dobson Artist, many vendors and live music. I ship free to the

lower 48 United States & Canada.
