Father's Day In Florida

Bradenton Convention and Visitors Bureau

Where better to take dad on holiday, than Florida? Bradenton, on the Gulf Coast, is home to world-class golf courses, challenging deep-sea fishing and superb wildlife spotting opportunities, perfect for treating parents to a last-minute holiday in the sun this June.

Top Three For Dads:

  • Golf: Bradenton is a paradise for golf lovers and June is the perfect time to visit due to the warm weather and smaller crowds on the golf courses. Take a swing at Legacy Golf Club at Lakewood Ranch; an award-winning course awarded four and a half stars by Golf Digest and voted as one of America's Top Golf Courses by Zagat Surveys. Or visit one of the most challenging courses in Bradenton; Waterlefe Golf and River Club thatwinds its way through conservation areas and along the scenic Manatee River where manatees swim in the marshes.
  • Deep Sea Fishing: One of the last remaining commercial fishing villages on Florida's Gulf coast, Cortez, is a living tribute to Florida's seafood industry. Go on a deep sea fishing day trip with Cortez Deep Sea Fishing and catch grouper, snappers, key west grunts, porgies, sharks, barracudas, trigger fish, king mackerel, Spanish mackerel and many other species depending on the season. Fishing trips cost from £50 per person.
  • Kayaking Wildlife Spotting: Paddle your way through some of Florida's most natural landscape, admiring Bradenton's world class nature reserves, stunning lagoons and abundance of wildlife. One of the area's top attractions is the Robinson Preserve, 487 acres of natural landscape, which boasts a five mile kayaking trail home to over 100 species of birds, 75 species of fish and a 53 foot viewing tower.
