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.
