Yes its not like the bike path on 30a. its up on a curb and it goes into a little gas station and in front of Shades at the Loop in front of shades and the gas station- there is no sidewalk but you can go through the gas station and by shades and not worry about many cars. and its a big parking lot in front of shades, I see many people riding their bikes through there to get to 30a bike path, and a lot of people park their cars in rfont of shades and will go roller blading or biking from shades parking lot to the 30a bike path 30a bike path starts just out of shades parking lot.
