The gorgeous beach was voted as one of the best beaches in the world thanks to its incredible scenery and powdery white sand.
Located in Sarasota, Florida's Siesta Key Beach is the second best beach in the United States and the ninth best in the world, according to TripAdvisor's Traveler's Choice Award.
However, this beautiful land hides its secrets – its sand is said to have a spiritual quality of healing and a connection to the mythical city of Atantis.
Unlike most beaches formed of crushed corals and limestone, Siesta Key Beach sand is made up of 99% pure quartz crystals.
Within spiritual healers, quartz is widely recognized for its ability to guide energy, reduce stress, and promote physical and mental well-being.
When it comes to the way beaches became made of crystals, some legends claim that quartz came from the ancient mythical city of Atlantis.
However, most people agree that the crystals are likely to have descended from the mountains in southern Appalachia. No matter where the crystals come from, the unique composition of the beach will keep the sand cool under your feet, no matter how hot the weather is.
The evidence is primarily anecdote, with countless visitors to Sarasota's famous beaches reporting healing benefits such as a peaceful mood, such as refreshment, rejuvenation, and more after spending time on the coast. Walking barefoot on quartz-rich sand is said to create a grounding effect, helping to clean your mind and relieve anxiety.
Visitors to the beach were certainly impressed by its beauty and wrote that TripAdvisor was an unforgettable experience.
