Down By The Sea - Casey Key Scenic Motorcycle Ride

"Sometimes we are lucky enough to know that our lives have been changed, to discard the old, embrace the new, and run headlong down an immutable course. It happened to me ... on that summer’s day, when my eyes were opened to the sea."
— Jacques Yves Cousteau, Oceanographer

Roads that run along the coast have a special place in my heart; I have enjoyed the gulf views for many years and will never get tired of them. Casey Key Road on Casey Key is a great example of a coastal road that I never get tired of riding on. Either early in the morning or later in the evening this road always provides some of best water views that I never get tired of.  Finding these scenic road jewels is something that never gets old, my motorcycle gliding along the road, ocean breeze in my face. What else could I ask for? So go find some back roads and take the road less traveled as I so enjoy doing and if you do not have the time to find the scenic back roads you can always get one of my books like the Northwest Florida & Nature Coast which will introduce you to some great coastal roads. As Christopher Reeve once said “Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean”.
