Point of Rocks

Point of Rocks is a residential neighborhood located on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The development is just south of Siesta Key Beach and Crescent Beach, the #2 rated beaches in the United States. At the “Great International White Sand Beach Challenge” held in 1987, these beaches were recognized as having the whitest and finest sand in the world.

Point of Rocks is actually a rare coastal headland that is responsible for keeping the micro fine sands found on Siesta Key Beach and Crescent Beach in place. Homes in the Point of Rocks development are on the highest geographical point of Siesta Key and this is a big plus in the rare event the island receives a storm surge from a passing hurricane.

If owning a beach front residence in Florida is a concern, the elevation of this area provides residences significant protection from the flooding waters that can accompany a hurricane. None of the homes in the Point of Rocks have ever been under water. The waterfront home sites are fortified from erosion by natural and man made stone wave barriers. Regardless of what mother nature can throw at us, these homes are the most likely to survive her best punch!

Though the beach front of Point of Rocks homes is either very small or non existent, the views of the Gulf of Mexico are simply stunning. The diving and snorkeling opportunities that can be had out the back door of many of these homes is the best in Sarasota. Hidden just below the waters surface, plateaus of limestone and deep crevices filled with some of the most beautiful fish in our waters can be found.

Point of Rocks homes for sale vary in size from 1000 square feet to more than 4,000. Many old Siesta Key bungalows can be had in the development for a great price. For as little as $400,000 you can have private home located just steps from the beautiful white sands on Crescent Beach!
