Anna Maria Island has six to choose from!
South of Tampa Bay on the west coast of Florida lies Anna Maria Island, just off the shoreline of Bradenton.
"Old Florida charm is the essence of Anna Maria’s seven mile stretch of pristine living"
… with every location literally a walk or bike ride away. The entire island is surrounded by a sugar-white coastline where loggerhead turtles like to nest and exceptional emerald water where dolphins and manatees are often spotted. Sans the High-rises, theme parks and water slides, this little island is a fishing birding, kayaking paradise. The City of Anna Maria is located at the northern tip.
This is a quiet residential community with an abundance of rental homes and cottages. Most residents prefer to ride their bikes, as the “City of Anna Maria” is not a City but, a quaint little village.
Pine Street serves as the main thoroughfare from bay to beach where charming family stores and cafes are housed in quaint Florida cottages as well as “one” unobtrusive shopping center featuring novelty shops, clothing and ice cream. Many artists reside in the area where the fruits of their efforts can be found in nearby galleries.
Anna Maria Beach is accessible by traveling the side streets along Gulf Drive. This magnificent beach has expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico, St. Petersburg and the Skyway Bridge.
Holmes Beach is at the center of Anna Maria Island. This is the busiest section of the island as traffic is crossing the bridge from the city of Bradenton. The public beach, known as Manatee Beach, is a direct shot from the bridge featuring a concession stand, volley ball courts, water sport rentals and play yard.
Nearby restaurants, shops and boutiques make this a vibrant active community.
