Bel Mare at Riviera Dunes is one of the most distinctive waterfront condominium communities in Manatee County. Located within the prestigious Riviera Dunes district of Palmetto, Bel Mare stands out as one of the few true high-rise residential towers overlooking the Manatee River. While high-rise living is more common across the river in Bradenton, Bel Mare offers a rare opportunity for elevated waterfront living on the Palmetto side.
Bel Mare Residences & Riverfront Views
The twin Bel Mare towers are positioned adjacent to the Tamiami Trail Bridge, between the Riviera Dunes Marina and the Manatee Convention Center. Depending on floor level and balcony orientation, residents enjoy expansive views that may include the Manatee River, Terra Ceia Bay, the Riviera Dunes Marina, the Bradenton skyline, and the surrounding harbor.
Bel Mare is known for its spacious floorplans. Even two-bedroom residences typically offer two full bathrooms and approximately 1,750 square feet of living space. Larger residences and upper-floor homes provide even more generous layouts, with some three-bedroom residences exceeding 2,900 square feet and offering three-and-a-half bathrooms. Current availability and pricing will be displayed below when units are on the market.
