Top Things to See and Do on Anna Maria Island

Anna Maria Island is known for its Old Florida vibe, where folks come to unwind for a few days and sometimes end up staying permanently because of its friendly, unhurried atmosphere. From an old jail that has no roof and no doors and a breakfast place where you can eat surrounded by funky coastal decor to the newly constructed City Pier and a "Doctor's Office" that has a prescription for everything ailing you. In today's video, we're exploring this little slice of paradise southwest of Tampa and telling you about the top things you should see and do on Anna Maria Island.

    Two Scoops is great, but we LOVE Holy Cow next to Publix! Also, The Donut Experiment and the taco place next door are must dos every time we are on the island.

    I want to paint a sand dollar! I have a very old Key West Willy's tshirt that was my Dad's favourite place when he went on Golf holidays in the area many moons ago. Don't think it exists now. Great video. Cheers

    Looks like our kind of place. We prefer the laid back small beach town. And I’m always looking to see if anyone can top our long reigning pizza champ , Georgio’s in North Myrtle Beach.

    We stayed at the Margaritaville Compass at Anna Maria Sound on our last visit and loved it. During a previous visit we stayed at the Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort and had no complaints.

    How do you find parking at bean point?!

  • @ChadGallivanter

    @ChadGallivanter

    Parking near Bean Point is mostly limited to street parking because it’s in a residential neighborhood. There are signs that tell you where you’re allowed to park and, just as importantly, “how” to park. You can usually find some spots on North Bay Blvd or Gladious. If you’re willing to walk, park near the city pier. It’s not a bad hike unless you’re dragging lots of gear to the beach.
