We love this beach! It's a beautiful beach with a large parking lot, casual beach restaurant, and beach bar. It's across the Manatee Ave bridge. Go early to beat the crowds.

Coquina is one of our favorites! Take the Cortez Ave bridge and head south. There is a lot of parking, a beach side restaurant & bar. It is typically a little less busy than Manatee Public Beach.

Check for traffic to the beach

Traffic can get busy on and off the island. We check Google maps on our phones to decide which beach to head to based on bridge traffic. If Manatee Ave bridge is less congested - we head to Manatee Public Beach. They have a large parking lot, a restaurant, bar, and restrooms at the beach. Go early to find parking. If the Cortez bridge is less busy, we head to Coquina Beach. Coquina beach also has a beach restaurant, bar, restrooms, and a large parking lot. Both are beautiful beaches!
