Bradenton beach

Question

Has the beach been opened south of the Moose lodge to Coquina beach?

Answer

Good question. Yes — as of the latest updates, the stretch of beach in Bradenton Beach from just south of the Moose Lodge down to Coquina Beach is generally open again.

Here’s what I found and what you should know:

According to the Anna Maria Island recovery update, “Bradenton Beaches” have reopened, including “city-owned beaches … from 27th Street south to 13th Street” and South Coquina Beach is listed as open.
Manatee County’s beach-park page for Coquina Beach confirms that the beach is managed by the county and provides full public access, with restrooms, showers, picnic pavilions, and lifeguard supervision in some areas.
The City of Bradenton Beach’s official site states that Coquina Beach (at the southern end) is public and has a “large parking area … next to the beach.”
Reddit users have reported that while some of the northern lots and access points were still under recovery, you *can* park further south along Coquina and access the beach by walking.

Things to Watch / Be Cautious About:

Some beach access points may still be under repair or have limited parking, so access might not be fully “normal.”
After storm recovery, certain walkways or dune areas may still have debris or uneven sand — wear shoes if you're walking across access points.
Check local flags and water conditions before swimming — beach safety may be more variable during recovery.

Bottom Line: Yes — the beach area from just south of the Moose Lodge down through Coquina Beach is largely open to the public again, though some caution and planning are wise due to ongoing recovery efforts.
