  • 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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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%.

      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.
