Review & FAQ:
Bradenton Beach is a small city that is located on Anna Maria Island, on Florida’s Gulf Coast. A short drive from neighboring cities Bradenton and Sarasota, Bradenton Beach is known for its oceanfront restaurants, charming strip of shops, sugar-sand beaches, fishing piers, and plethora of family-owned businesses. The city definitely encourages a slower pace of life, which is made evident with its ban on drive-through restaurants.
Near the northern tip of the island, visitors will find Pine Avenue, home to small art galleries, handmade clothing, specialty olive oils, and French-milled soaps. Visitors can head to any one of the city’s pristine beaches and enjoy a day of sunbathing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, and swimming.
