Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort will be the backdrop for the Sandestin Beach Bicycle Tour on May 17-19 when hundreds of cyclists cruise through Northwest Florida.

On that Saturday, 30- and 60-mile rides will begin at Baytowne Marina at Sandestin and head East to Scenic Highway 30A. The 30-mile ride will stop at Grayt Coffee House in Grayton Beach then return back to the resort. The 60-mile ride will continue down 30A and turn around just past Rosemary Beach. On Sunday, the 15-mile loop will begin at Baytowne Marina and head West to Old 98. This weekend bicycle event is designed for all road cyclists, as routes are very flat and include gulf views.

The event benefits Alaqua Animal Refuge, an independent, non-profit organization located on Florida’s Emerald Coast that advocates the general welfare and humane treatment of animals by providing shelter, prevention of pet overpopulation and adoption services.
