Things to do locally

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, Cortez retains its antiquated charm, with a few modern amenities. This timeless fishing community is located in the ideal place, next to the glittering Gulf of Mexico, and is completely enveloped in traditional maritime heritage.
