State Road 758 (SR 758) is an 11.2-mile-long (18.0 km) state road connecting Siesta Key with other parts of the Sarasota, Florida area. State Road 758 is locally known by several names: Midnight Pass Road northwest of Crescent Beach on Siesta Key, then Higel Avenue on Siesta Key, Siesta Drive as it crosses Sarasota Bay (Intracoastal Waterway) in Sarasota, and for a short time as South Osprey Avenue south of Siesta Drive, and curves eastbound onto Bay Road on the mainland west of Tamiami Trail (US 41-SR 45). Finally, it is known as Bee Ridge Road from Tamiami Trail (US 41-SR 45) east to its eastern terminus at Interstate 75 (SR 93) (Approximately five miles). Bee Ridge Road continues on past Interstate 75, without state designation, for approximately three miles to Bee Ridge Road's real terminus at Bee Ridge Road Extension and Rotenbach Park.
SR 758 begins at an intersection with the western terminus of SR 72 in Siesta Key, heading northwest on Midnight Pass Road, a two-lane divided highway. The median becomes a center left-turn lane as the road heads through resort residential and commercial areas a short distance to the east of the Gulf of Mexico. SR 758 turns north to remain on Midnight Pass Road, with CR 789A (Beach Road) heading west to Siesta Beach. Midnight Pass Road continues as a two-lane undivided road passing through residential neighborhoods, curving to the northwest. SR 758 intersects CR 789A again and turns north onto Higel Avenue, passing more homes in the northern part of Siesta Key. The state road turns east onto Siesta Drive, running through more residential areas.
