The warmth and sun of Florida is an attraction any time of year. Kick-off the summer the right way with a Memorial Day trip to the keys you won’t soon forget. Pack your bags and prepare for fun in the sun, water, and even on land as you check out many of the exciting activities the area has to offer.

Beaches

An island vacation is never complete without a visit to its beaches. No matter where you are, you and your group are just moments away from the sand and vibrant waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Spread out your blanket and plant your beach umbrella and prepare for a day of lounging on the sand with the sea breeze on your skin or taking a dip in the Gulf.

Bicycle Rentals

If you’ve enjoyed the island life before on vacation, you know there are several places your rental car just can’t go. Gather your group and explore the many walking and bike trails the keys have to offer that let you see the sights that are unavailable by car. Most bike rental places have bikes to fit each person in the group. Rent single-seat bikes without gears (also known as cruisers), tricycles for added balance and basket space, adult bikes with baby seats, children’s bikes, or even a bicycle-built-for-two! Ask about complimentary locks, baskets, and safety gear such as lights and helmets, as many companies provide them. They may even offer perks like delivery to your accommodations!

Paradise Boat Tours

A great way to get to know the area you’ve decided to call home for a while is to get out and explore. While exploring on land is easy, you’ll want to get familiar with the waters of the area too. Based in Bradenton Beach, Paradise Boat Tours offers fully narrated, 90-minute tours of the intercoastal waterways. Keep your camera ready and your eyes peeled for sea life including dolphins, manatees, rays, and more! Plan a private tour and pack a picnic, including your favorite alcoholic beverages.

Bradenton Beach Parasailing

See your vacation spot from a bird’s eye view. Sail high over the water on a parasailing adventure with Bradenton Beach Parasailing. You’ll take off from the beautiful waters off of Anna Maria Island to fly high above the waters of the Gulf. Spot dolphins, turtles, manatees, stingrays, and other sea life. You can take off and land without getting wet or cool off from the beat of the sun with a little dip in the water before flying back up once again to come down for a safe landing on the boat deck of the specially designed and USGS approved parasailing boat.
