Island living with mainland connections
Transportation on Siesta Key primarily revolves around personal vehicles, given the island's layout and demographic.

For those venturing off the key, the Stickney Point Bridge connects to the mainland, leading to major roads like U.S. 41, which runs along the coast.
While the area is primarily car-dependent, Siesta Key does offer some alternatives for getting around. A free trolley service operates on the island, providing a convenient option for exploring local attractions without the need to find parking. This service is particularly useful for reaching Siesta Key Village or other beaches along the coastline.
For longer trips, the Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport is approximately 12 miles away, or about a 25-minute drive, offering convenient access for travelers. This proximity allows residents to easily welcome guests or embark on their own journeys.
Cycling enthusiasts will find Siesta Key moderately accommodating, with flat terrain and scenic routes along the coastline. However, dedicated bike lanes are limited, so caution is advised when sharing the road with vehicles.
While public transportation options are minimal, this aligns with the preferences of Horizons West's residents, who typically rely on personal vehicles or private transportation services for their daily needs.
