Weather in September/Tropical Beach Resorts
My wife and I are thinking about hitting Siesta Key in September, and would appreciate your help with a couple of things:
- Is it still "beach weather" in mid-September?
- Being close to the beach is the main objective of the trip, and it sounds like Tropical Beach Resorts fits the bill; any guidance on selecting a room? 2 people who like a little space.
- Any other suggestions beyond Tropical Beach Resorts for places close to the beach?
Thanks for your help!
Siesta Key is a beautiful destination, and September can be a great time to visit, though there are a few things to consider. Let’s break down your questions:
1. Is it still "beach weather" in mid-September?
Yes, September is still prime beach weather in Siesta Key, but there are some caveats. The temperature will generally be hot, with average highs in the low 90s °F (32-34°C), and the water temperature will be very warm, perfect for swimming and water activities. However, September is also part of Florida's rainy season, so afternoon thunderstorms are fairly common, usually brief but intense. Additionally, it’s hurricane season, so there’s a slightly higher chance of tropical storms, but the risk is not guaranteed. It’s always wise to check the weather forecast closer to your trip, and consider purchasing travel insurance in case of a weather-related disruption.
2. Tropical Beach Resorts – Any guidance on selecting a room?
Tropical Beach Resorts is a wonderful option for staying close to the beach. It offers a relaxed, low-key atmosphere with direct access to the beach. For two people who want a bit more space, here are a few room options to consider:
- Beachfront Suites: These suites offer the best access to the beach and are a great choice if you prefer having more space and a great view. They typically come with a full kitchen, which is convenient for longer stays, and often have a private patio or balcony.
- One-Bedroom Suites: If you're looking for comfort without too much space, the one-bedroom suites are ideal. They’re spacious enough for two people and offer some additional living space, often with a separate living area.
- Studio Rooms: For a more budget-friendly option, the studio rooms are compact but functional, offering all the essentials without the extra space. They are still a short walk to the beach but might be a bit smaller if you prefer a larger living area.
For a more comfortable stay with a bit more room, I’d recommend the one-bedroom suites or beachfront suites, depending on your budget and how much space you want.
3. Other suggestions for places close to the beach:
If you’re considering other options beyond Tropical Beach Resorts, here are a few great places close to the beach on Siesta Key:
- Siesta Key Beach Resort and Suites: A popular option for those who want to be close to the beach and also near Siesta Key Village for dining and shopping. They offer a variety of room options and are known for their friendly service and relaxed vibe.
- The Ringling Beach House: A charming, upscale boutique hotel that’s just a short walk to the beach. It’s quieter than some larger resorts, making it a great choice for a more intimate experience.
- The Hyatt Siesta Key Beach: If you’re looking for something with a little more luxury, the Hyatt offers upscale condos with full amenities, and it's located right on the beach. It’s perfect for those who enjoy larger, more modern accommodations.
- The Beach Club at Siesta Key: Another great option that’s located just steps from the beach, this place offers a nice balance of location, value, and a relaxing atmosphere.
All of these are great alternatives if you're looking to explore other options, but Tropical Beach Resorts is definitely one of the top choices due to its proximity to the beach and comfortable accommodations.
Enjoy your trip to Siesta Key! It’s a gorgeous place to relax and soak up the sun, and I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time.
