There’s plenty to do in the Bradenton Area but no pressure to do anything at all. On land or sea your clients can walk, cycle, kayak, paddleboard or parasail to spot the abundant wildlife that lives here. Take a guided family kayak tour or a dolphin-spotting cruise, try a catch and cook expedition or watch the dramatic sunsets on a romantic getaway.

The cozy, quaint feel of Anna Maria Island makes it the perfect place to eat grouper sandwiches and kayak with dolphins or a romantic getaway. 

Anna Maria Island is also home to small independent businesses and boutique stores, a lot of which are found on Pine Avenue ‘the greenest little main street in America’. Your clients can make their way around via the free trolley bus which runs the length of the 7-mile long island or, for a more fun mode of transport rent a Segway, golf buggy or a bike.

Bradenton’s Village of the Arts is a unique, eclectic community of historic 1920s cottages in rainbow colours, housing everything from award-winning restaurants to art galleries and craft shops.

In Bradenton’s atmospheric Downtown adults can browse the farmers’ market or sip a local tipple in the Motorworks Brewery, while kids will be wowed by the South Florida Museum’s manatee aquarium and planetarium. The Riverwalk area offers outdoor arts, botanical beauty and free al fresco concerts and events for the whole family.

Play In Paradise

In the Bradenton Area your clients will find exceptionally high-quality seafood, the freshest in all of Florida and throughout the area there is an emphasis on delicious organic and farm to fork cuisine to be enjoyed in independent family-run restaurants with toes-in-the-sand beach-side dining. 

Floribbean cuisine is a unique fusion of ingredients from the Caribbean Islands and Florida, and it's a local specialty full of bright, citrusy flavors and spices. Add in numerous local organic farms feeding an active sustainable-food movement and you've got all the elements of a food-lover's paradise. 

Make sure to recommend your clients a visit to the historic fishing village of Cortez, one of the last of its kind in Florida, and truly a unique, off-the-beaten-path find. There, they can grab a table and a drink and enjoy its unique culture, centred around some of the freshest of dock to table seafood. 

After dinner, there's plenty of entertainment featuring live music, open-air tiki bars, and spectacular sunsets.
