Take SR64 west. You can't miss the beach because the road ends in a big parking lot. SR64 is also named Manatee Ave. in Bradenton.

Additional Information

This is the best beach for beginners in Bradenton. The surf crowd is pretty much zilch and the waves aren't so harsh. It's troughed and the beginners are mainly on the reform mid-break. The outside can hold a good ride when it's breaking. Bring a longboard/funboard for the outside and anything for the inside. The life guards keep a good eye on the tired beginners.

Atmosphere

Taken friends here when 3 piers or other AMI spots are too tense. Caught some good dawn patrols and always end better with the ALL YOU CAN EAT PANCAKES!

General

At certain times of the year you are literally tripping over girls layin everywhere on the N side...
