Contrary to its name, this road does not lead to beach
access, but it will take you from Periwinkle to the Bay side of the
island. The bike path ends at Albatross, but you can easily continue on
Dixie Beach to the Bay, and then you can follow the gravel road through an
exclusive residential area until it ends near Tarpon Bay.
