MANASOTA COASTAL

Scenic Ride 18

Heading through Naples on 1-75? Get off the super slab and check out the southwest corner of the state. This ride gives you a taste of Naples and a tour of scenic Marco Island. There are beautiful coastal views as you roll through marshlands and past a few mansions along this leisurely ride. Ride safe!The inspiration for this ride is the Lemon Bay/Myakka Scenic Highway route. We've modified it to be a loop with a roll down Manasota Key and alongside the Myakka State Forest. You can make it your own adventure with a side trip out to Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island
