Cortez, Florida is one of the last small coastal fishing villages in Florida, located right off Anna Maria Island across the Cortez Bridge.

Founded in the 1880s by settlers from North Carolina, you will find that Cortez still has the same antiquated charm speckled with a few modern amenities. This timeless fishing community is located in the most perfect place possible, next to the glittering Gulf of Mexico, completely enveloped in traditional maritime heritage.
