Manatee County GPS Numbers

GPS Coordinates > Central West > Manatee

Manatee County with Bradenton, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, and Palmetto, is located south of Tampa Bay, north of Sarasota, has over 150 miles of coastline and 27 miles of white sand beaches. Coastal habitats include mangrove forests, seagrass beds, salt marshes and mud flats. Manatee County waters provide excellent recreational boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Squeezed between Sarasota County and the Skyway Bridge at the entrance to Tampa Bay, your choices of offshore reefs is endless, visit Pinellas, Hillsborough & Sarasota Counties for nearby GPS numbers. For inshore fishing, locals refer to the many waterways intersecting Manatee County as The "Backcountry" which include the Manatee River, Miguel Bay, Joe's Bay, Bishop Harbor, and Terra Ceia Bay. If your looking for some big fish like Kings, head to Egmont Channel for some trolling. Central West Reefs & Shipwrecks
