Living in Florida means you can enjoy the outdoors all year long. Our REALTORS® love getting out and active at our fantastic natural spaces along the coast. We encourage you to pack the sunscreen and go on a wonderful nature walk in one of these great greenspaces around Manatee and Bradenton.

Neal Preserve —12301 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton, FL 34209
A serene yet sensitive wildlife area that contains both uplands and coastal habitats, Neal Preserve has over 100 acres of gorgeous natural splendor. Stroll through the preserve not far from Bradenton homes for sale and see remnants of Native American culture from over one thousand years ago. Please, leave your pets and bicycles at home and enjoy a quiet, courteous walk through this special space.
Emerson Point Preserve — 5801 17th St. W., Palmetto, FL 34221
Emerson Point Preserve is close to Palmetto homes for sale and is a perfect place for a nature walk or picnic. Hiking and kayaking are ideal ways to experience the diverse wildlife habitats that sustain life for the beautiful creatures that have called coastal Florida home for centuries. Dog walking is permitted, and you can also take a few hours to relax with your fishing pole if you so choose. Be sure to climb to the top of the Observation Tower to see Manatee County from a bird's eye view.
Leffis Key Preserve — 2351 Gulf Drive S., Bradenton Beach, FL 34217
Are you looking for an unbelievable panoramic view of the Sarasota Bay? Then venture a short drive away from Bradenton Beach homes for sale and visit Leffis Key Preserve. This island preserve has a 26-foot hill stretching to the sky at its center, allowing visitors to surround themselves with 360 degrees of sunshine and skyline. Meander through the park, walking across the boardwalks and posting up on viewing platforms as you take in the sounds, sights and smells that you'll only find on the Gulf.
Joan M. Durante Park — 5550 Gulf of Mexico Dr., Longboat Key, FL 34228
For over 20 years, the Joan M. Durante Park has been a favorite place for residents and visitors to enjoy a splendid nature walk. As one of the only vacant spaces near Longboat Key homes for sale, this park was restored as a viable wetland and coastal hammock forest. Joan M. Durante Park is an admirable example of a healthy balance between man and nature.

Located on the water a short walk away from Sarasota homes for sale, Ken Thompson Park and New Pass Fishing Pier perfect for those wanting to be close to nature.
