Howard, We are heading to the Bradenton area tomorrow for 2 weeks. I remember you mentioned a great place to eat. Any info you can give for eating or sight seeing would be appreciated. Isn't this Florida weather great?

Hi Bonnie & Clyde,
I'm not sure about a "great" place to eat, but the Star Fish Company in Cortez has lots of local flavor and fresh seafood. You order from a little window and eat at picnic tables on a porch at a small marina where lots of birds gather for handouts. Reasonable and fresh and a cool place to eat most tourists won't find.
As for other sightseeing, we didn't do a whole lot while in Bradenton. But we did go to Robinson Preserve which is a great place for birdwatching, biking, kayaking, or just walking. Anna Maria Island has a nice public beach and several restaurant options.
Wish I could tell you more, but we pretty much just hung out with our friends while there.

Howard--just wanted to tell you on Wednesday we picked up my sister-in-law and husband at the airport, and had lunch at the Star Fish Company in Cortez--just what we were looking for. Local flavor, working fishing docks, fish market-had a great grouper sandwich. They told me between the fish market and restrauant they sell about 4,000. of grouper a week--Thanks for info.--Yesterday we went to DeSoto County Park and had a great time-
