Great Parking but Leaving is Different

Can you give me an idea of how the beach parking is out at Coquina? Sure I can, and there is good news and bad news on the beach parking here. On the good, it has lots of parking spaces and is one of the largest of the Manatee County Beach Parks. Plus, you can park in the shade. Just look around for a nice shady spot. On the bad, if you wait to leave later in the day the entire Gulf Drive can back up with traffic going either to Longboat or back towards the Cortez Bridge.

Boating is such fun along the Beaches
Boating in sarasota and manatee county is so nice and you can pull right up and anchor right off the beach here. They offer four boat ramps and you can explore in a myriad of places.

Early in the day we tend to not have any problems getting a parking spot. Later, forget it. We stayed at the Anna Maria Island Inn and switched to bicycle travel for everything.
