Just north of Homosassa Springs is a town called Cutlers. In Cutlers (off or US Highway 19) you'll W. Ozello Trail (Also known as State Route 494).
Scenery
Water, twisties and lots more water. This great hidden little route just about 60 miles north of Tampa and offers some great Gulf Coast riding. Lots of great side roads to explore as there are many other roads to ride in this area. Lots of water & Great for pictures and having lunch at Pecks Port Cove. Let me know and I would love to make the ride with you. I am 5 minutes from the road -
Drive Enjoyment
Very good, a few bridges and lots of twisties.
Tourism Opportunities
Pecks Old Port Cove restaurant on the water out toward the end is a great place to eat - great food!

Probably the one road that the state of FL got right. Enjoyable little ride that is over too soon. This road should be no problem for anyone with moderate riding experience. The only thing to really watch out for is sand in some of the turns.
Here's my ride on the trail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RmLZNqMpRs

The Ozello Trail is a great ride as long as your paying attention to the road. Many of the corners have a decreasing radius and will "bite" you if you let them. The "Island Outpost" welcomes bikers and is a great place to gas up and enjoy some of the best BBQ in town. It is about half way through the ride and marks the beginning of the tighter corners.
