Introducing the Marco Mosey

From time to time, I will endeavor to introduce new, custom-made Marco Island bike rides that will bring you some of the most beautiful views of Marco Island while giving you just the amount of exercise you want. But that’s just the beginning.

We’ll even make some suggestions that could turn your bike ride into a trip to the grocery store, tennis and pickleball courts, the Farmer’s Market, or your favorite restaurant.

We’re going to strive to keep our easier rides on shared use paths. And with Marco Island’s comprehensive network of shared use paths, it’s actually pretty easy to do. You can hop on any Coastal Breezin’ ride at any point and ride the loop. 

The Marco Mosey is an entry-level, 7.2-mile ride with no hills (though Marco Island does have hills, including Indian Hill, the highest point in SW Florida at 51’).

The Marco Mosey starts at the intersection of Collier Blvd. and Winterberry Dr. and rides north on the shared-use path to Residents’ Beach (3.7 miles). Turn east on the shared-use path (San Marco Rd)  to the Racquet Center (1.3 miles). Just past Heathwood at the Racquet Center, take the linear park trail south to Winterberry Park (1.2 miles). Turn right on the shared-use path, cross Winterberry Bridge, and take the shared-use path back to start (1 mile).

This is a really beautiful ride that includes the heart of the Marco Skyline, three beach accesses, the City of Marco Racquet Center, Mackle Park, and Winterberry Park.

There are lots of spots to stop for lunch between the Marco Walk Plaza, the hotels, and Residents’ Beach.
