Getting Around

Bradenton and the Gulf Island Beaches are located on the West Coast of Florida, just south of Tampa Bay. The region is easily accessible via interstates I-75 and I-275 as well as the Sarasota/Bradenton International and Tampa International airports.

Florida statutes require that bikers under 16 wear a helmet. Bicycle passengers under 4 years old must be in a sling or child seat. All bikes must have lamps or reflectors -- white light in the front, and red in the back, visible from 500 feet -- between sunset and sunrise.
