Parking spot when biking Longboat Key

My wife and I would like to bike the length of Longboat Key this winter while snowbirding in the area.
On Google satellite I see Overlook Park at the south end.
Is that a good option to park our car at while biking?

What is the cost to park there?

Are there other/better options?
  • We park at several areas on Longboat key for hubby fishing and there is ample parking on both sides of the road going all the way up towards Anna Maria. It's a beautiful area to explore on two wheels for sure.
  • It's been a lot of years since we sold our condo on Ledo Beach, but there was public parking there just off St. Armand's Circle, which would be south of Longboat... or north the public parking at Bradenton Beach... Longboat has certainly changed over the past 25 years. We still drive to St. Armand's Circle to eat at the Columbian Restaurant... great food!
