Great Family Beach
Located on one of the longer stretches of sandy-white coastline in Florida, Holmes Beach is a very popular beach getaway destination. The beach is located on Anna Maria Island, a quaint coastal village. Holmes Beach is an unspoiled paradise, with powder-white sand, and crystal clear water. Locals come here to picnic under the Australian Pines, and to enjoy the all-you-can-eat pancake breakfasts at "Cafe on the Beach". Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island are a great place to relax and enjoy Florida at its best. This is where you'll find the serenity of an unspoiled Florida treasure.

Holmes Beach Hotels
On our family florida vacation to the area, we found a hidden hotel special that was worth every cent. It is called, Bridgewalk, and it really was fun. Nice gulf front rooms, lots of beach bars and waterfront restaurants nearby, and the sunsets were the best. We love Bradenton and the manatee county beaches, as this is the place to bring your family and have a great florida vacation. Located at 100 Bridge Street, just get a suite and enjoy your stay.

Cortez
We love the area around holmes beach to cortez. The fishing village of Cortez is one of the oldest surviving really life fishing village around Manatee County. It is a great seafood producing area for both recreational and commercial fishing.

Manatee County Living
Manatee County is the ideal environment for play and work, as the area has a nice mix of retirees, business professionals, families, and students. What a super quality of life, with plenty of recreational things to do. A nice and vibrant coastal community. The big birthday prize that we all get to enjoy is Anna Maria Island.
