The smooth quartz sand used for Siesta Key Crystal Sand Weddings was formed over the course of what is thought to be millions of years. It originated in the Appalachian Mountains. River flowing into the the region from the Appalachians deposited the sand along the west coast of Florida. Then and on Siesta Beach high density quart sand accumulated over time.

It certainly adds to the mystique of the beach, as some locals who frequent it will tell you that there is something magical about it.

We can take comfort in knowing that our favorite sand is not going anywhere anytime soon. The unique structure of Siesta Beach is actually causing the sand to accumulate rather than erode. Down at the south end of the beach, the Point of Rocks acts as a natural barrier to hold the sand on the beaching so that is does not erode to other beaches. As the result, the beach is actually getting larger over time, which is good news for all of us fans of its unique quartz sand.
