Want to explore the hidden gems of Florida’s Suncoast? Our newsletter is here to help

Found along the warm waters of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, the Suncoast of Florida makes up a very special corner of our Sunshine State. Along Southwest Florida’s stretch of turquoise blue and sand white coastline, you’ll find Bradenton and Sarasota.

These postcard-famous cities and surrounding towns and islands are akin to a pirate’s treasure trove for travelers seeking fun. This subtropical region stays balmy in the winter, and is rich with culture and arts, intriguing history, lush nature scapes, soft sand beaches and a bountiful drinking and dining scene. Whether you’re a first time visitor or a lifelong local, we want to make sure you don’t miss any of the gems the Suncoast has to offer.

Snowbirds on the Suncoast is a free email newsletter from Bradenton Herald to help you have the most fun in the 941. We can help you find the best spots for days spent watching manatees, hiking in the trees or teeing off on the green, plus tips on navigating that pesky beach traffic and parking. We can advise on the best places to enjoy a (sub)tropical drink, catch a great show and get a taste of the area’s favorite and up and coming restaurant offerings.

And Snowbirds on the Suncoast will keep you posted on all the local happenings, from the best events of the weekend to the biggest events of year. We’ve got the low down on the choice farmers’ markets, antiquing and thrifting, too.
