I don't think it is feasible. As I recall it was a pretty good drive and the roads are busy, especially this time of year. You may want to check with the resort....

It's a little to far to ride a bike to the beach but there is plenty of free parking at the beach. It is about a 15 minute drive through some pretty busy roads....

Juliet819:While it is possible to bike from Sun N Fun to Siesta Key, one of the closest beaches (and the NO. 1 beach in the US), it is 12.25 miles, many of them along busy (and narrow as you near the beach) streets. How else can I help?Dick...

I would not ride a bike to the beach from Sun - n - Fun. The closest beach is Lido Beach and it is over 11 miles to the beach. You can ride your bike to the Celery Fields Park. That is only 2 miles away from Sun - n - Fun....

I agree with the previous answers and think the main road is far too busy for a bike ride even if the distance is do-able. There ARE bus lines so perhaps that is an alternative for you to find salt water. The pools ate SNF are great....

It's about seven miles to the beach. Yes you can bike, on the sidewalk, but the roadway is very busy with numerous street crossings. I wouldn't suggest riding a bicycle. If you have younger children, it's a definite no....

It would be an enormous challenge. The roads are so busy this time of year that my Doctor has been hit by careless drivers on two occasions. I would suggest that you drive your car to Anna Maria, Island. Park your car in a designated parking place. All 4 wheels must be off the pavement or you’ll get a ticket. Your bike must have lights and a horn or bell. From there you can ride on sidewalks which are safe. This beautiful road down the length of Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach, and Longboat Key to Lido Key will give you a ride down all the beaches you like. Safe travels. I have lived in Sarasota for 71 years....
