Cortez Beach Local Guide

Cortez Beach picks up on the tip of Anna Maria Island’s south end where Coquina Beach leaves off on its north end. However, Cortez has an entirely unique look and feel to it. Cortez is by far one of the most tranquil beaches you will find on Anna Maria Island and is an ideal beach for an afternoon, weekend getaway, or a much-needed vacation for relaxation purposes. 

Wondering where Cortez Beach even is? It’s okay; you’re not alone. You can find it by heading north from Coquina Beach, and once you hit 5th street, you’ve reached Cortez Beach which extends all the way to 13th street. A Cortez Beach vacation is as picturesque as a postcard and beneficial for the mind, body, and soul because this beach allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Cortez Beach is the perfect place to be for your family oriented vacation. You can skim board, swim, build sand castles, and fly kites. The water is typically calm with light surf. Enjoy the sandy dunes, Australian pines, and the sea grapes that shade the parking area. Your vehicle and feet won’t get roasted by the hot summer sun.
