Siesta Drive connects to the very north section of Siesta Key with a draw bridge, while the Stickney Point Road south bridge connects to the island about 4 miles to the south via a drawbridge.

Making a left and heading south on the island leads to a quieter Siesta Key experience with less traffic, while a right turn navigates straight into the main public beach area and Siesta Village.
