Located between Tampa/St Petersburg and Sarasota, Bradenton is the seat of Manatee County and a fabulous place to explore the arts, historical attractions, have fun in the sun on the numerous beaches in the area and spend an evening dining out or having a drink with friends in one of the many restaurants or pubs on downtown’s historic Old Main Street.
The city is surrounded by waterways, both fresh and saltwater. Bordered on the north by the Manatee River, Bradenton is located on the mainland and is separated from the outer barrier islands of Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key by the intracoastal waterway. Along the Gulf of Mexico and into the Tampa Bay area are over 20 miles of Florida beaches.
Downtown Bradenton is located on the west side of the city. Home to many of Bradenton's offices and government buildings, it is a lively place with new buildings currently under construction. The tallest is the Bradenton Financial Center, 12 stories high, with its trademark blue-green windows. Next tallest is the brand new Manatee County Judicial Center with eight floors.
The Eastern side of Bradenton is growing at a rapid rate. Initially starting as the popular subdivision Lakewood Ranch, it is now becoming a heavily populated part of town. Most of the communities are newer than in West Bradenton. Although Bradenton has become increasingly cosmopolitan in character it could still retaining its small-town charm.
