Need a Bike? Need a Sunset Viewing Location?:
Seeing the Island on a bike is a wonderful way to experience the relaxed, island paradise. Bikes can be rented at Beach Bum. They will deliver the bikes to you and pick them up. They have all kinds of neat stuff to rent! Don't forget to visit Cafe on the Beach - a 3 minute walk or ride your bike. (It is part of the Manatee County Park.) They have seating on the beach, play equipment for children, volley ball, picnic area, live entertainment all day and of course powdery-soft white sandy beach and azure blue water. An established routine on the island is for everyone to make their way to the beach just before sunset to view the awesome sunsets. This location is excellent for doing just that while eating a snack and watching the children play. Consider calling Jack Elka Photography and have him take a family photo - a portrait by the Sea with a spectacular sunset background. He is very good, tell him June set you!
