Check for traffic to the beach
Traffic can get busy on and off the island. We check Google maps on our phones to decide which beach to head to based on bridge traffic. If Manatee Ave bridge is less congested - we head to Manatee Public Beach. They have a large parking lot, a restaurant, bar, and restrooms at the beach. Go early to find parking. If the Cortez bridge is less busy, we head to Coquina Beach. Coquina beach also has a beach restaurant, bar, restrooms, and a large parking lot. Both are beautiful beaches!
