Siesta Beach Park

The Siesta Key loop is a fantastic option for a relaxed road cycling experience, offering a delightful blend of coastal scenery and charming village life. This easy 13.9 miles (22.4 km) route features only 72 feet (22 metres) of elevation gain, making it accessible for nearly everyone, and you can typically complete it in about 55 minutes. You'll cruise past beautiful beach and bayfront homes, enjoy views of the Gulf of Mexico, and soak in the atmosphere of Siesta Key Village.

When planning your ride, be aware that while some sections have dedicated bike lanes, you will share the road with cars, particularly on main thoroughfares. To ensure a more enjoyable and less congested experience, it's often best to hit the road earlier in the morning. As a public road route, there are no specific permits or fees required, and parking is available throughout the Siesta Key area.

Beyond the immediate loop, the Siesta Key area offers connections to other popular cycling routes, including sections that overlap with smaller local trails and access to the longer Legacy Trail. The route itself passes through the lively Siesta Key Village, providing opportunities for stops at shops and restaurants, and offers easy access to the famous Siesta Beach Park.
