| Location | Placida–Gasparilla Island |
| Length | 11.1 mi[5] (17.9 km) |
County Road 771 is Gasparilla Road running from Gasparilla Island to a point historically known as McCall (just south of the Myakka River).[5]
Route description[edit]
Gasparilla Road begins on Gasparilla Island. The Charlotte County segment continues from a segment in Lee County, which begins in Boca Grande. From the county line, it heads north along Gasparilla Island for over a mile before crossing the Boca Grande Causeway to Placida on the mainland. Just north of the causeway at Placida Road (CR 775), Gasparilla Road turns south and then curves to the northeast. It runs just to the east of the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park on a route roughly paralleling the former Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway (now the Cape Haze Pioneer Trail). At Rotonda Boulevard, Gasparilla Road expands to four lanes. It heads north for another two miles before coming to its northern terminus at SR 776 (McCall Road).[5]
History[edit]

County Road 775 is Placida Road running from Placida to Englewood.
Route description[edit]
Placida Road begins in Placida on Cape Haze. Its southern terminus is at CR 771 (Gasparilla Road) near Boca Grande Causeway. From CR 771, Placida Road heads northwest as a two-lane road passing between the coast and Rotonda West. Just before Rotonda Boulevard, Placida Road expands to four lanes and passes through Grove City. It then enters Englewood and cones to its northern terminus at SR 776.[7]
History[edit]
Placida was originally designated SR 173.[2] It became SR 775 during the 1945 Florida state road renumbering. When first designated, SR 775 continued north from Englewood to US 41 in South Venice along the present route of SR 776.[3] After SR 775 south of Englewood was relinquished to county control in the 1980s, the northern segment became part of SR 776.[4]
