Point O'Rocks lies along the Gulf of Mexico coast at the southern end of Siesta Key, a low barrier island between the open Gulf and Sarasota Bay. Its name refers to an unusual limestone outcrop beside Crescent Beach, where rock shelves in shallow water contrast with the long sandy shoreline for which Siesta Key is known. Southward, the island narrows toward Casey Key, while inland waterways connect the coast with Sarasota on the mainland. Sarasota’s cultural life includes The Ringling, a museum complex centred on the former estate of circus entrepreneur John Ringling.
