Cortez, Bradenton, Florida

The quaint coastal community of Cortez is home to the last remaining and historic fishing village on Florida's sun coast. It is situated right on the intercoastal waterway and is only a bridge away from the white sand beaches of Bradenton Beach, Florida. Once a thriving commercial fishing area, increasing regulation and heavy residential development have slowed it substantially. The cultural and maritime heritage of this town, however is being preserved through the dedication of its residents. Cortez, Florida, has vacation condos and homes for rent, and if you don't stay there, is a must see on your vacation getaway in Bradenton, Florida.
