Turquoise water. Sandy beaches. Spectacular sunsets. What’s not to love about Anna Maria Island? As one of the most scenic spots in the Sunshine State, AMI offers a relaxing, restful getaway apart from the regular tourist sites.
First up, plan an easy and stress-free beach getaway. Our property experts are happy to answer any question you have. Call us at 941-270-3846 or email reservations@beachretreatsfl.com.
Of course, the main attractions are our beautiful beaches. From Bean Point to the north to Coquina Beach in Bradenton Beach, our beaches offer the tall palm trees and Gulf breezes, with plenty of family-friendly attractions and restaurants.
Make it easy on yourself by booking a beach set-up from Cabana Up. They deliver lounges, chairs, umbrellas, and other gear to the beach. You show up and relax.
What’s a beach getaway without delectable, mouth-watering seafood? Fortunately, AMI has a wide variety, from the Sandbar to The Waterfront Restaurant to The Porch. Whether your favorite is shrimp, fresh catch, or oysters, you’ll find plenty of succulent seafood dishes at the island’s restaurants.
The free island trolley makes it easy to get to those restaurants. The trolley runs a loop around the island, and passengers can hop on and off. Keep the car parked and enjoy the convenience of the public transit. Our accommodations are within walking or trolley distance to everything you need.
Paddle through AMI’s mangrove system, bays, and inlets with a kayak tour. Participants experience the island in a different way, including seeing dolphins in the wild and passing under the City Park Pier. Beach Bums AMI will even adapt the tour to sights you want to view.
Next to the free trolley, the easiest way to get around the island is on two wheels. Rent some cruisers and hit the bike paths. The outfitter delivers bicycles to your beach rental, with locks, lights and helmets provided upon request.
Enjoy a room with a view like our four-bedroom TipSea Turtle property with a rooftop lounge area. Watch the sunrise over Tampa Bay, then head downstairs for a dip in the private pool. Footprints in the Sand, another four-bedroom luxury property, offers views of the Gulf of Mexico from the top floor master bedroom.
