Anna Maria Island - A can't miss Florida beach paradise
Trip to beautiful and surprising Anna Maria Island with my family. Get a sense of what it is like to vacation in this paradise on the Gulf of Mexico. Includes epic drone shots of the Island and visits to multiple spots. See nature (including manatees), boating, restaurants, sunsets and fun. Visit Bean Point, Longboat Pass and many other picturesque spots. Visit waterfront restaurants like Sandbar, Beach House, Wicked Cantina and Tide Tables. See the three Island cities of Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach and Anna Maria. We stayed at the Waterline Resort and MarinaI. I promise it will be worth your while.

We were there 4 days ago. I would definitely go back.
One of the most beautiful and clean beaches in the world. I don't live in that area anymore and I sure do miss it.
Been to Anna Maria Island and Bradenton many times over the last twenty years.Video gives a great description of the area.Coquina Beach by Longboat pass is our favourite place to chill.Lots of dolphins and manatees can be seen cruising the pass.Not to be missed.
This is an awesome video. Thanks!
I live near Tide Tables. Great job showcasing the area.
Me and my family just visited Bradenton Beach last week for the first time ever! And we just loved it!! Its so beautiful. The most beautiful and amazing place I've ever seen. Will be going back again.
Nice job enjoyed your video
Incredible views posted by this great narrator.
Great video, beautiful family! God Bless!
Great video! I concur, it is absolutely beautiful in AMI!
Beautiful!

Love to go
Excellent Video!!! Really enjoyed it!!! Thanks!!!
What an awesome video! Definately has me wanting to visit there! Great job!
great pics and wish I was there now!
My family and I just booked 3 days on AMI for Spring Break. I can’t wait! I have been to Siesta Key, but am looking forward to exploring AMI. Great footage! Thanks.
thank you so much for making this video. I am in AWED viewing such paradise that when we move to FL this summer (Oregon) I just may have to follow you in your footsteps. The food places were just as exciting as the beaches.
I live in Sarasota...close by. You captured this nicely!
Awesome!! Video, thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Our favorite annual family trip is definitely Anna Maria!! One of a kind! Next time go to Ginny and Jane's for breakfast!
great video!! had to subscribe!! keep making them!....fell in Love with the island 12 yeas ago, could not afford the island so we bought a place in Paradise bay estates on Sarasota bay just over the bridge on the main land. It truely is Paradise so close to the island! So so Blessed.
Been going there since the 80's when our kids were little. Now the "kids" take their own kids there. A bit more busier now than what it used to be , but still beautiful.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. Looking forward to checking out all the spots you recommended!

Nice!

We just stayed at an amazing home in Flamingo Cay. It is three miles from this island, but on the canal. 10211 Kingfisher Rd. We totally love the island, but a nice quiet neighborhood at the end of the day is nice too! Enjoyed this video . Check out the Sea Hag on Cortez next time. Pretty amazing collection of items for sale.

My Dad hated to stay at home on weekends. So we alternated between the "Shack" on the Homosassa river and an old house on Anna Maria island. I loved Anna Maria. The only restaurant was Pete's. That was okay, my Dad cooked great steaks for dinner and grits his way for breakfast. I was always allowed to invite atleast one friend.
I have a house on Holmes beach. Just an amazing spot.

If you rent it we would be interested in the future. We love this area! We drive each year from South Carolina for vacation! We still love our low country and beaches but AMI and the Gulf is special!
Thank you
Great video. You did a really good job! Thanks for showing so many different beaches and restaurants. What month did you visit?

Spent a week on AMI three years ago at Christmas. Now looking to retire to the area.
Don't miss the village of Cortez...great seafood places. And you can fish off many beaches and piers and catch your own dinner...trout, sheephead and redfish are delicious, as are the pompano and flatfish.

Did you guys go there in the middle of pandemics? 😁 From the looks of it, it was a year prior. I live in central FL but never visited it. I'm so going there in July after a few family trips outside of FL.

Nice video.... Is Anna maria island the best place you can get in Florida in term of clear water ? or did you find anything better so far ???
@bobshotstravel

It is definitely near the top. The panhandle has some nice beaches with very clear water as well.
With a little over 8 thousand people there what are the job prospects like there, I'd like to take a trip there but I'm out of money and might like to stay for a bit but I'd need a place to stay.

Rents are high so you might find a job but still may not be able to afford to actually live on the island. Just across the bridge in Bradenton, you'll find reasonable rent.
Would you say cocina beach had the clearest water?
@bobshotstravel

Chris H That’s probably a fair call, but all of the beaches on the Island have super clear water. Coquina Beach has the best parking and a wide, soft sand beach.

I would go to Bean Pt one day, dinner at Beach House, be sure to catch the sunset from the beach. Minnies for breakfast or a snack - the danish could feed a family. Visit at least one pier. I hear the Waterfront is a good spot for a nice meal.

How's parking at manatee beach?

Decent amount of parking but can fill up
I moved to this area 10 years ago and no commercial franchises were allowed. The Marriott Waterline has destroyed the old Florida ambiance. I don't know how or why that was allowed but it really is an eyesore. Now developers are buying up the smaller rental management companies and increasing visitor rentals by 300%.
You'd be surprised where all that "great seafood" comes from at most seaside restaurants! Much of it is no where near local caught!

I live here in paradise and own a rental here also. I'm a Realtor so if you want to own or rent on the island look me up. I'd love to help you.
