History
Bradenton Beach is located on Anna Maria Island. In 1892 George Emerson Bean became the first permanent resident on Anna Maria Island. He began to develop the area in the early 1900's. For years the only way to the Island was by boat. It was not until 1921 that Anna Maria was physically connected to the mainland by a wooden bridge.

Manatee's beaches feature the Gulf of Mexico's emerald waters bordered by tall, shady Australian Pines. Serene natural beauty and breathtaking Gulf views give Manatee County and the Gulf Islands a kick back and relax style all their own. The best example of the area's unspoiled nature is the broad sweeps of white sand beaches unmarred by high-rise condominiums or hotels.

In Manatee County, art, music and theater have strong community support and the county's boating public is served by 30 marinas and eight boat ramps. In bays, bayous, and along the shores of the Gulf, fishermen find trout, redfish, pompano and flounder.

Bradenton is one of southwest Florida's oldest cities. Bradenton is Manatee County's center of commerce, government, health and social services, and much of the area's cultural life. Increasingly cosmopolitan in character, the city retains its small-town charm. A number of new residential sections complement older established neighborhoods in both urban and suburban settings.

The city's property tax mileage has been reduced 16 consecutive years, a rare accomplishment at any level of government. The Bradenton area represents natural Florida because it has not suffered many of the negative effects of Florida's booming growth. Bradenton and nearby Palmetto boast easily accessible water, which makes boating and fishing popular pastimes.

Anna Maria Island is connected to Bradenton on the mainland by two draw bridges, and to the northern end of Longboat Key by Gulf Drive. The island, some seven miles long is hard to resist, with friendly bars and inexpensive restaurants, wonderful beaches, and a whole range of waterborne activities as well. There's a distinctly Caribbean feel about many of the streets, with quaint old homes painted in faded pastel colors.

The public beaches on Coquina Beach and Bradenton Beach are very pretty wide, white sand beaches, and Coquina Beach is lined with Australian Pines.
