Hiking
The Historic Bridge Pier isn't quite a bridge anymore, but it offers a fascinating glimpse into the island's past. Originally constructed in 1921, this wooden structure was the very first bridge connecting what was then called Cortez Beach (now Bradenton Beach) to the mainland. Transformed into a charming pier, it has become a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike.
