Robinson Preserve
Robinson Preserve in Bradenton is home to a variety of plants. Rabbits are also sometimes sighted. There are trails for bicycling or hiking across wide fields, marshes, and small wooded areas. There is a tall observation tower next to one of the lagoons, which is where the photos above were taken from. If you have good eyes, you can see the Skyway in the distance.
Along the northern edge of the park there are breaks in the vegetation separating the trail from the bay. These lead to small, secluded beaches. The water remains incredibly shallow far into the bay. Ibises and herons walk on the mirror-like surface of the sea as far as a hundred feet from shore. On the southern edge of the trail there is a narrow channel of water that connects the sea to the water bodies inside the park. This runs like a river when the tide comes in or goes out.
