Location
Directions
From US 41, go west on Siesta Drive, over the North Bridge onto Siesta Key. The road will curve left and turn into Higel. After the intersection with Midnight Pass Road, make the sharp RH turn at the small roundabout and the road changes into Ocean Blvd. Whispering Sands is about a mile on your right, on the Gulf side of the Key. Drive into main entrance, go to first stop sign and turn left. Follow the road around, toward the Gulf. The 101 building will be the midrise building on your right before you get to the Gulf front tower buildings.
