Why Bradenton + A Golf Cart Just Makes Sense
Bradenton has a vibe all its own: laid-back, a little artsy, and always close to the water. From the quiet charm of Palma Sola Bay to the energy of Bradenton Beach, it’s a place built for exploring. But navigating it by car? Not so fun.
That’s where we come in.
At Beach Ride Rental, we have golf cart rentals visitors actually want to use, because who wants to circle for parking when there’s a beach to get to? Our carts are street-legal, vacation-ready, and show up right at your hotel, Airbnb, or vacation home.
No lines. No waiting. Just hop in and ride easy.

Bradenton Spots to Explore by Golf Cart
Your golf cart rentals in Bradenton, FL, aren’t just for getting from point A to B; they’re your pass to the best corners of town, minus the parking stress and traffic crawl. Here’s where to roll first:
The Village of the Arts
Colorful cottages, galleries that feel more like hangouts, and murals around every corner; the Village of the Arts is Bradenton’s creative heart.
Cruise your cart down 12th Avenue and hop out wherever something catches your eye (it will). Saturdays are great for art walks, but any day’s a good one for tacos and handmade jewelry.
Riverwalk
Bradenton’s Riverwalk is where beach days meet city energy—water views, splash pads, shaded picnic spots, and live music depending on when you roll through. Park your cart near the amphitheater, stroll the marina, or grab an iced coffee at one of the cafés nearby.
Pro tip: sunset over the Manatee River hits different from here so if you’re looking for a romantic spot, this is it.
Manatee Mineral Springs Park
A hidden gem just off the beaten path, Manatee Mineral Springs Park is small but packed with history.
It’s quiet, green, and a great spot to take a breather between stops. There’s a peaceful little boardwalk and shady benches, which makes it perfect for a slow sip and some people-watching from the comfort of your cart.
Bishop Museum of Science and Nature
Whether you’ve got kids in tow or just love a good planetarium, the Bishop Museum is a must.
Park your cart and have fun checking out Florida wildlife, fossils, and manatees in the rehab center. You’ll want to spend a lot of time here, so plan for a half day expedition.
Palma Sola Scenic Highway
The Palma Sola Scenic Highway brings serious Gulf Coast vibes, even without being on the beach.
This is one of the prettiest cart rides around, lined with towering palms, marsh views, and quiet side streets where everything slows down. Roll your golf cart out this way for a true “locals only” detour.
Downtown Bradenton + Old Main Street
Roll through Old Main Street with your favorite playlist on and squad in tow. This stretch is full of local eats, boutiques, and bars, and it’s extra lively on weekend mornings or during seasonal markets.
Your golf cart gets you close without the usual downtown parking game, and yes, you’ll want to stop for brunch.
Where to Eat in Bradenton
Exploring Bradenton by golf cart works up an appetite, and lucky for you, this town knows how to eat. From breezy waterfront spots to tucked-away taco joints, here are some of our favorite places to roll into, park the cart, and dig in:
Pier 22
Dockside views. Fresh seafood. And a pineapple mojito that’s worth the trip alone. Pier 22 is a Bradenton classic with sushi, steaks, and sunset vibes right on the Manatee River.
O’Bricks Irish Pub & Martini Bar
Yes, it’s a pub, but this one comes with upscale plates and serious cocktail cred. O’Bricks is a staple on Old Main Street, and it’s cart-friendly for lunch, dinner, or happy hour.
Try the grouper sandwich or swing by for weekend brunch. Bonus: outdoor seating means flip-flops are always welcome.
Birdrock Taco Shack
Tucked in the Village of the Arts, Birdrock is funky, fast, and full of flavor.
The tacos are creative (think Korean BBQ or blackened shrimp with pineapple slaw), and the vibe is casual enough to roll up in a golf cart, order at the window, and chill out with a craft soda under the string lights.
Fav’s Italian Cucina
Family-run and full of heart, Fav’s is where to go when you need pasta, garlic knots, and zero fuss. It’s right in downtown Bradenton and ideal for a quick bite in between cart adventures.
Pro Tip: Locals swear by the lasagna, so make sure to try it out.
Corwin’s Ice Cream and Smoothies
You can’t roll around Bradenton without a frozen treat stop, and Corwin’s is a fan favorite. Right near the Riverwalk, it’s an easy stop for soft serve, milkshakes, or a smoothie that actually counts as lunch (we won’t tell).
