Anna Maria Island is a classic laid back beach community that has that 'Old Florida' feel with white sand gulf beaches and only one building over three stories tall.
Like to fish? Anna Maria Island is home to three fishing piers which include the Rod and Reel, Anna Maria City Pier and the Bradenton Beach City Pier. All offer visitors the unique dining experience of watching humans and pelicans competing for the fish. There are also a large number of deep sea fishing charters available.
