Florida State Road 789

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A 19-mile-long road along the Florida’s Gulf Coast, State Road 789 spans Coon Key, Bird Key, Saint Armand Key, and Lido Key, in Sarasota; Longboat Key; and Anna Maria Island near Bradenton. The southern terminus is the intersection of the John Ringling Causeway and the Tamiami Trail (US 41-SR 45) in Sarasota; the northern terminus is an intersection of Gulf Drive North and Manatee Avenue (SR 64) in Holmes Beach near Bradenton. Much of the northernmost five miles has been designated Bradenton Beach Scenic Highway.

Additional sights along SR 789 include Ken Thompson Park (featuring Mote Aquarium on City Island), and the scenery of Gulf of Mexico Drive as it travels the length of Longboat Key.
