Outdoor Activities - To Get The Body Moving
I'm sharing my fav spots that host events or are just places you need to see.
One of the best parks with the best view. Everyone loves to walk their dog, run, roller blade, play volleyball and lay in hammocks. The sunsets are the best because you're right on the water.
The Vinoy - St. Petersburg, Florida
High quality items, and not just food. There are plenty of different vendors selling various items from homemade honey, peppers, and sauces…to bags, candles, body soaps and more. You can also try out the different food trucks!
Waterside Farmers' Market - Lakewood Ranch
If you like walking, running or biking with a view this preserve has some great trials that brings you to some great views. The tall tower allows you to see the Skyway Bridge.
Want to adventure in the water? Well, this is a great spot to go paddle boarding or kayaking! They have a launch site right at the parking lot and there's even a local vendor that allows you to rent both options.
The trails lead you to the bay to see the Skyway and it takes you through mangrove trees.

Robinson Preserve
Rated #1 beach in the USA, its definitely one to check out. The clear water with the soft powdery sand is a must see. (Bit of a walk to get to the water.)
PRO TIP: Peak time to go is late winter/early spring to miss the heat and hurricane season.)

Siesta Beach
This is like mini golf but next level.
Founded by Tiger Woods, he created this in inspiration of playing golf with his father.
There are 2 courses BLACK and RED and yes, you can do both in the same night for the price of one. They have 2 outdoor bars, a pingpong table, ice cream for when you are finished and the souvenir for coming is you can take your golf ball home.

I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL, THIS IS THE BEST RAMEN YOU'LL EVER HAVE!
I believe the owner studied the art of Ramen in Japan and brought it to Bradenton. The whole place is decorated with anime posters and figurines that you can take photos of along with a TV always playing anime.
I personally love the Shoyu Ramen (On the saltier broth side)
