The historic Bradenton beach pier was constructed in 1912, but has since been rebuilt and remodeled in a more modern design. It now houses a various array of restaurants, pubs, bake shops, cover facilities and so much more. Located right at the edge of the Bradenton Beach Marina, it offers several dolphin-sighting boats for tourists and locals alike. The pier is the perfect place for a stroll with your family or friends, not to mention the view it provides overlooking the Sarasota Bay is unmatched.
And no visit to Bradenton beach pier is complete without stopping by Anna Maria Oyster Bar. It’s this building with a quaint blue paint job, where you can feast on the crunchiest fish-n-chips while enjoying a cold beer.
Anna Maria City Pier
Perfectly perched along the Sarasota Bay, you’ll find the historic Anna Maria City Pier. Tourists and locals alike have been known to frequent this pier for its many attractions.

And for all you fishing enthusiasts, Anna Maria pier is the ideal spot for the ideal catch. Especially in the morning, you can find numerous bait shops with live baits, endless supplies and tackle. All’s provided. Just sit on the pier and enjoy the calm morning breeze while you fish.
So what are you waiting for? You wanna fish in peace, you wanna dine with a perfect view, you wanna take a stroll along the pier… This is the optimal location for you!
