The Legendary Vacation Area of Bradenton Beach

Located on one of the longer stretches of sandy-white coastline in Florida, Holmes Beach is a very popular beach getaway destination.

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.
