Great World Adventures (GWA) is still the only company offering horseback riding on a beach in Southwest Florida. We’ve been at it since 2007.
Other companies ride in the water but not on the beach and they don’t teach you any cool tricks (Zzzz). That’s why we’re the #1 beach riding outfit in the USA and one of the top-rated tourist attractions in Florida.
The first half of the ride is on the beach and the second half is in the water. Our trainers will teach you all the authentic local moves like HorseSurfing and HorseSkiing. You’ll get to ride on a horse while it’s swimming, too!
It’s still only $140 per person for a whole hour! Book online 24/7 or call us at +1 (941) 907-7272 M-F, 9-5.
Booking at least a day in advance is strongly recommended.

Walking along the beach on a Sunday night, the siren call beckons you. Louder and louder it becomes as you succumb to its song, a beat that mimics that of your heart. Approaching the source of the rhythm, a gathering appears. Dozens and dozens of people from every demographic form a circle on the sand, headed by a plethora of percussionists. The drums and the drummers vary in size, type, and sound, yet their music merges into one magical combination of unity. Watching, one can only realize that this is something special and that something special is the Drum Circle.
The Drum Circle, which meets every Sunday evening, year-round, on Siesta and Englewood Beaches begins approximately one hour before sunset. I cannot conceive how it’s arranged or coordinated, and truly don’t believe it is. I get the vibe that it’s one of those organic events that happens almost by magic. Participants are there by choice, not obligation, and it’s the joy brought by the Circle that draws spectators and artists alike back, on time, each and every week.

Motorworks Brewing, Bradenton’s first craft brewery, was co-founded by Frank and Denise Tschida. As soon as they laid their eyes on the Bradenton property, they knew they had found something special. Built in 1923 as an automobile dealership—complete with a concrete ramp that was used to move cars from the ground floor to a second floor service area—the 27,000 sq. ft. building houses Motorworks’ full-production Brewery and Taproom.
Formerly home to a Hudson Motors dealership—renowned for outstanding performance and innovative styling—in the late 40s and early 50s, the building’s automotive history along with Frank’s Sprint Car/ASA background inspired the Motorworks Brewing name and hood ornament logo. The Motorworks Brewing team strives to bring our own imaginative and innovative approach to brewing to honor our building’s storied past.
Motorworks Brewing is located at 1014 9th Street West, Bradenton FL, midway between the downtown Riverwalk and the recently renovated LECOM Field (spring training stadium for the Pittsburgh Pirates and home of the Bradenton Marauders). The brewery is adjacent to Bradenton’s unique Village of the Arts and is in the heart of Bradenton’s expanding downtown entertainment corridor.
Motorworks Brewing boasts the largest beer garden in Florida, complete with a spacious deck built around a magnificent 150+ year-old oak tree, complete with a spacious turfed lawn sporting over a dozen cornhole sets, a bocce ball court, life-sized Jenga and Connect Four, a large Live Music stage featuring eclectic bands and artists weekly, plus a 22 ft. projection screen for viewing films or sporting events.
