Bradenton Water Activities

A simple life rules in Bradenton by having your days spent basking on white sandy beaches, swimming in clear seas or searching for colorful shells. Besides beaches, try your hand at boating, para-sailing, and fishing. Bradenton is surrounded by water and a must is to place canoeing on the agenda and view nature up front.

Bradenton Dining

You should occasionally drag yourself away from the sand and feast on some of the best and fresh seafood such as grouper, red snapper and mullet on the island. A variety of restaurants on the island represent every type of food and budget but remember being surrounded by water that seafood rules. Memories can be made from the swank restaurants illuminated by candlelight along the water or the rustic beach side pubs serving blue crabs with a beer. Check out the catch-of-the-day up close at the harbor when the fishing boats return or head to the farmer’s market for fresh items and cooked it up in your vacation rental.
