Siesta Key Crystal Classic November 17, 2010

Siesta Key, in Sarasota, Florida, has been proven to have the "Worlds Finest, Whitest Sand"™. It is continually voted one of the top 10 best beaches in the country and because of it's 99% quartz crystal sand it possesses, arguably, the best natural beach sand for sculpting.

WELCOME TO THE SIESTA KEY CRYSTAL CLASSIC!
Master Sand Sculpting Competition

It's no secret, many beaches which host master sand sculpting events contain unsuitable sand, and so must transport quarry sand to their beach for the sculptures.

This is not the case with Siesta Key and on November 18th to the 21st. Come and see over 20 of the best Master sand sculptors in the US create amazing art from sand to benefit Mote Marine's sea turtle rescue projects.

The Siesta Key Crystal Classic will have many activities for families to enjoy the event. Take a sand sculpting lesson, hear live bands.

You can purchase a four day pass for $5.00 per person/$10.00 per family of four. Passes are sold only on site.

This event benefits Mote Marine Sea Turtle Conservation. http://www.mote.org/

By the way, please take a shuttle from Phillippi Estate Park so you won't have to look for a place to park (benefits the environment, too).
