Large Manatee County Gulf beach park at the south end of Anna Maria Island
Coquina Beach is a Manatee County beach park at the southern tip of Anna Maria Island, within the city of Bradenton Beach and beside Longboat Pass.
Visitors use the beach for swimming, shelling and sunset walks, and sea turtles nest here from May through October.
Gulf Drive South runs to the park at the island's southern end. From the mainland, reach the island via Cortez Road or Manatee Avenue, or arrive from Longboat Key via Gulf of Mexico Drive. The Anna Maria Island trolley has a stop at the beach.
