Coquina Beach
We just completely enjoyed our quality beach day visiting Manatee County's Coquina Beach. What a great name for a beach, and you will see the little and colorful coquinas in the sand, as you walk down the miles of the Anna Maria Island shoreline. The area has a unique and inviting beach town feel. Coquina Beach features vast watersports and beach recreational activities, plus two boat ramps located bayside. This is a great beach park to enjoy picnics, fishing, and boating. Perhaps best of all, you can experience the beautiful Gulf sunsets.

You have found one of the best beaches around Bradenton or Sarasota, with great sand, water, and facilities. |
 |
They really know how to build life guards stands these days, just look at the size, as it dwarfs the car below it. |
 |
On the bayside is the city and small fishing village of Cortez. |
 |
If you forget your beach toys, there are a bunch of fun little beach shops on Gulf Drive to choose from. |
 |
Beach umbrellas have become so popular, and are a great way to beat the sun and spend more time at the beach. |
 |
Boaters love Coquina, as the boat ramps have you over to Jewfish Key or in the Gulf in just a minute or so. |
 |
The white sandy shallow areas are the perfect place for boaters to pull up and jump in. |
 |
On the intercoastal side is a nice park called Greer Island, where family boating parties are held. |
 |
You can hit the beach or cruise in the boat. You are close to the great boating around Longboat Key. |

Coquina Beach is the place for kids, and they love to play on the beachside playground. |
