Florida - Sightseeing
Video: Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton
In this video, Jenny Taylor, owner of the Londoner Bed & Breakfast in downtown Bradenton, showcases the best of the area. You'll start out with a kayak ride and Native American history at Emerson Point on Snead Island. Then you'll meet Snooty, the world's oldest manatee in captivity, at the South Florida Museum. Hungry? Lakewood Ranch satisfies your appetite with international cuisine.
