Bradenton Beach
Bradenton Beach is a city on Anna Maria Island, 60 miles south of Tampa Int’l Airport. The population is 1,278 in 2018 estimate (1,657 in 1990 census and 1,482 in 2000 census).
It has a post office and a library. The long wait at Anna Maria Oyster Bar, must be tourists like us.
Our goal was Anna Maria Oyster Bar on the Pier but it was an hour wait.
… So we ended up at The Bridge Tender Inn & Dockside Bar, at the foot of the Historic Bridge Street Pier, looking out to the lighthouse on the Sarasota Bay. It’s a dive bar heavenly good, with live music. Many diners come by their kayaks, canoes or speedboats.
