Great pizza in their wood-fired oven. Also easy for take-out if you prefer to eat at home. They even provide a free salad with the pizza.

Siesta Key has consistently ranked as one of the top beaches in the USA. The white powdery sand feels great on your feet and compliments the blue green waters of the Gulf Of Mexico. Siesta Key is lively, with beach volleyball, evening drum circles, as well as shops and restaurants in Siest Key Village.

Coquina Beach is my favorite beach to visit. Unlike Siesta Key, you'll always find a place to park, often under a nice shady tree. There's a nice walkway and picnic area under the trees before you cross the dunes to the beach. There lots to explore in Bradenton Beach, including local shops and restaurants. AAnother favorite spot is the park on the Bayside across the street from the beach. Here you can meander along wooden boardwalks and find a quiet bench to take in the view.
