Default Siesta Key

My gf, some of her friends and myself are going to Siesta Key tomorrow. Whats the best way to get to the beaches there? I normally just go to Longboat Key or Anna Marie Island, so I'm not familiar with Siesta Key but I do know it's south of those two. So from Tampa taking I75 whats the best way to get on the beach there?

I-75 south, then take exit 205 (clark road, sr 72) when u get off the highway go right towards town. stay on clark probably 3-4 miles. you'll crossover highway 41 and go over a bridge. when the road ends go right, and follow that around and the beach will be on the left. pretty much just follow the traffic.

I like boring sometimes. No pressures, nothing to do. Hang out, eat, and drink.
