What it’s like
The place. Bradenton Beach is a very small city on the Gulf coast, and its residents are older than in most American towns. Nearly everyone who lives here owns their home, and homes are valued well above what is typical across the country. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and winters are mild, with summers that turn properly hot and a good deal of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Manatee County, the largest workplaces include Manatee Schools, Manatee Memorial Hospital and Feld Entertainment. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than it was a year ago, though there are somewhat more jobs than before.
Things to do. The Florida Maritime Museum at Cortez is in or beside town and tells the story of the local fishing coast. A short drive away, Anna Maria Island is a beach and the Manatee River offers time on the water. For a longer outing, Siesta Key is a beach a longer drive away.
