Located just south of Tampa Bay, the Bradenton Area is a fabulous place to explore historical attractions, fishing adventures, golfing excursions and shopping diversions.
Bisected by the Manatee River, the city of Bradenton lies on the southern shore with the quaint city of Palmetto and historic Ellenton on the river's northern shores. It is also known as the home of the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy which has nurtured the early years of tennis stars such as Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras.
Bradenton is located between Tampa and Sarasota. The area is surrounded by miles of waterways, and the local beaches are a big attraction, but a couple of sights deserve a visit before you head off for the beach.
Manatee Village Historical Park recounts the story of the Florida frontier a century ago through a fascinating collection of restored buildings. These include a boat house, a general store and an early settler's house, all of which have been furnished as they would have originally looked.
The South Florida Museum is both educational and fun. 'Florida from the Stone Age to the Space Age' is the theme, with exhibits ranging from dinosaur dioramas to life-size replicas of 16th century Spanish-style buildings and early cars.
Close to everything, you'll find a full array of accommodations located minutes from the islands, yet close to all the inland pursuits.
