Longboat Key Club and Resort, ideal for a Florida beach vacation, features miles of biking paths perfect for exploring the island’s beautiful tropical flora, fauna and wildlife.

Longboat Key residents especially take pride in the bike path that runs the length of Gulf of Mexico Drive, where you’ll find our premier Florida beach vacation resort. Gulf of Mexico Drive spans the entire length of the island, thereby making it a great stretch for Florida beach vacation guests interested in kicking back on a bike and experiencing the sites and sounds of Longboat Key.

In fact, Gulf of Mexico Drive, also referred to as State Road 789 or G.M.D., is the only main thoroughfare and runs north-south through the island. The town is accessed by Florida beach vacation guests via bascule (draw) bridges, from the south by New Pass Bridge connecting Longboat Key and Lido Key. Longboat Pass Bridge on the north connects Longboat Key to Anna Maria Island. Thus, Florida beach vacation guests can travel by bike from island to island!

Florida beach vacation guests will also discover plenty of signs and designations for cyclist safety, but always be sure to wear a helmet!
