This public beach access is located in the City of Bradenton Beach, along the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico. This is a unique "Old Florida" style beach encompassing a long, vast stretch of sand, located on the southwest side of Anna Maria Island, Florida. Cortez Beach is picturesque as it is lined with tall trees, filled in with native grasses, speckled with sand dunes and sea oats. This lush terrestrial habitat in combination with beautiful gulf waters make it a wonderful place to spend an easy day under the sun!
This beach does not offer access to amenities. There are no lifeguard towers, picnic areas, playgrounds or beach rentals. It is again what one would consider "Old Florida style" as it offers the basic and beautiful essentials; sun, sea, and sand! Fishing regulation/licenses may apply.

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
