Historic Cortez Fishing Village 
hugs the shoreline of Sarasota Bay on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Cortez has become a haven for artists, writers and fisherman who find the unspoiled surroundings refreshing compared to the high rise luxury golf course communities just across the bridge in Longboat Key. This walkable village has the much sought-after Old Florida look.  

There is an annual fishing festival held in February and two nearby fish markets where you can buy fresh catch directly from the fishmongers. 

Walk to hear live music most nights at Pelican Pete's, the Cortez Kitchen, or the Swordfish Grill. The Starfish is written up in national publications for picnic table-style eating on the fishing docks where Chainsaw Charlie creates his sculptures.

Cortez is in Manatee County minutes to everything but nicely tucked away.
