Bradenton Florida

Occasionally you run across one of those old photos: an image of Florida before theme parks, malls and mega-chains. It’s the Florida of swaying palms, island beaches and laid-back living. Some may assume those days are long gone – until they stumble upon Bradenton, Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key. Nestled just south of Tampa Bay between St. Petersburg and Sarasota on Florida’s West Coast, the Bradenton area is easy to get to, yet slightly off the beaten path. Better yet, once you get here, you will feel worlds away. This is the real deal – authentic Florida with an infectious local vibe.
