Historic Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach is one of Anna Maria Island’s favorite areas for shopping, dining, and poking around town. It’s a place where people gather to eat, shop, and play, and for seasonal and community events, like Sundown Get Down and Christmas on Bridge Street.

Once upon a time, the Bridge Street pier was more than just a source of entertainment; it was once part of the original – and only – bridge onto Anna Maria Island, prior to the tourist boom of the last several decades..

Bridge Street is a walkable community that offers you incredible water views from both the pier and other areas along the shore, as well as ample opportunity to shop and dine. End a day of shopping with a scrumptious meal or a surprising cocktail.
