Bicycling is a great way to explore the Gulf Islands off the Cape Haze Peninsula. Boca Grande and Palm Island, offer unique places to Bike Ride and explore.
Boca Grande Bike Riding
The Island of Boca Grande offers about seven miles of paved bike trails that run the length of the island along the old rail bed. Round trip that’s 14 miles! The trail runs through the town, by the restaurants and shops, and ends at Gasparilla Island State Park Beach, at the southern tip on Boca Grande Pass. This is a most delightful bike ride. The scenery is beautiful all along the trail. You can stop at many points along the way to take a walk on the beach, Whidden's marina and view Charlotte Harbor. In the village you will ride by all of the beautiful architecture and many quaint buildings.
Palm Island Bike Riding
Palm Island is great to explore by bicycle. Because there are no public parking lots or commercial establishments on Palm Island, if you are not renting on Palm Island, the only way to visit is on foot or bicycle. Simply park your car on Panama Drive and take the Palm Island Transit ferry across the Intracoastal Waterway to Palm Island. The lack of public access to the island makes for virtually zero automobile traffic creating the perfect place to spend a day exploring the island and beaches by bicycle.
