If you’re looking for salt air and sunshine to kick off your year, your search is over. Anna Maria Island has everything you’re looking for the perfect beach getaway. 

Perfect Properties

Book with a trusted vacation rental management company that offers accommodations with plenty of privacy, comfort and all the amenities you need to make your vacation the best. Choose a large vacation rental like the four-bedroom Reef Romance with a private pool in the city of Anna Maria. Or the smaller Starfish Cove in Holmes Beach that offers three bedrooms and features a heated pool. Our properties are luxurious, and we use the highest standards of cleanliness and customer service. 

Beautiful Beaches

Anna Maria Island Island is a seven-mile stretch of spectacular beaches. At the quiet Bean Point, visitors can see where the Gulf of Mexico meets Tampa Bay. Anna Maria Beach is another place to swim or sunbathe in near seclusion. Then there’s Manatee Beach and Coquina Beach. Find your spot in the sun, kick back and listen to the waves roll in. 

Easy Set-Up

Use a beach service to set you up with beach chairs, umbrellas, skim boards, games and more to help you enjoy your time in the sand. CabanUp offers packages and will take care of delivery, set-up and removal. 

Fresh Seafood

When you’re on a beach vacation, you definitely want to try the local seafood. The Ugly Grouper in Holmes Beach offers grouper tacos, coconut shrimp, flounder Hollandaise, and much more. The Waterfront Restaurant in Anna Maria prepares local catch in delightfully creative dishes. Order the fresh catch, grouper cakes or shrimp & grits.

Water Fun

Kayaking and standup paddle boarding are popular activities, and the island makes a perfect spot for it. Beach Bums rents kayaks and paddle boards, providing basic instruction and life jackets. They even deliver to your rental free of charge. 

Fishing

Book a fishing excursion with AMI Charters. They offer everything from two-hour Kid’s Fishing Trips to the eight-hour trips and even night charters. There’s nothing like reeling in a big one. 


Catching a Sunset

Watching a sunset on the water is one of life’s most beautiful moments. Watch from one of the local beaches like those at White Avenue in Holmes Beach. Or take a Sunset Cruise with AMI Charters to see the sunset from the water. Gulf Drive Tiki Cafe also offers magnificent views. 

There are plenty of other reasons to visit Anna Maria Island in 2023. But aren’t sun, surf, sand, saltwater, and seafood enough of a draw?
