Scenic Motorcycle Routes in Florida

The “land of flowers” is known for its warm weather, miles of beaches, palm trees, and numerous waterways that extend east from the Gulf of Mexico and west from the Atlantic Ocean. This, coupled with its many unique roadside attractions and state parks, makes Florida a beautiful place to travel through, and one of the best ways to do that is via a motorcycle.

Motorcyclists living in or visiting Florida will want to take advantage of some of the scenic routes the state has to offer. We’ve outlined some of our favorite trips through the Sunshine State below.

North Tampa Circuit (Land O’Lakes, FL)

This 82-mile motorcycle route will take you in a large loop that starts and ends in Land O’Lakes, north of Tampa. You’ll be surprised at how many ranches you pass, reminiscent more of the Midwest or Great Plains than what we think of as Florida. However, once you see the orange orchards, and particularly catch their scent if the orange blossoms are in bloom, you’ll be reminded you’re in Florida. This route offers enough twists and turns to keep things interesting during your two-hour journey, with shifting scenery and several small towns along the way where you can stop for lunch or gas.

Ozello Trail Ride (Crystal River, FL)

North of Homosassa Springs is West Ozello Trail, a winding two-lane road that will take you through some lush scenery with lots of water views. This short 9-mile course can be ridden one way in about twenty minutes, so you can spend some time relaxing on the beach at Ozello Community Park when you get to its island at the terminus.

You also have the option of following any number of small side roads to explore the nearby islands and peninsulas. Make sure you’re taking all the twists and turns of this route safely on your motorcycle.

Casey Key Road (Laurel, FL)

This coastal route along the Gulf of Mexico south of Sarasota will take you past gorgeous houses, resorts, and beaches. Swing right onto Blackburn Point Road and follow it east for a mile until it meets US-41, which you can then ride south for four miles to your starting point. Take it slowly and give yourself a chance to explore some of the beaches and shops along the way. Blackburn Park is a nice little spot to pull off for a picnic.
