WATER & COAST
Cortez Beach
Manatee County · Gulf Coast
One of only three beaches in Manatee County with professional lifeguards and medical rescue, and at the same time a beach with no facilities at all. The water is calm and the county describes it as inviting for families. Guards work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Bring whatever you need, because there is nothing there to buy or borrow.
