From Anna Maria Island Inn’s private beach, you can watch the dolphins that sometimes come within inches of the shore, you can marvel at the pelicans' impressive diving ability, and you might even catch a glimpse of one of hundreds of baby sea turtle hatchlings emerging from their nests to start their long journey over the sand to the Gulf waters. The Island spans 7 miles of uncrowded, white, sugar-sand beaches on the vibrant blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.


With and average temperature of 75 degrees, this year-round attraction with its laid-back feel is the place to relax, soak up the sun and enjoy the delights of some of the award-winning restaurants.

There are no high-rise buildings in this area, just houses with the “Old Florida” feel, in neighborhoods that are not far from the water’s edge. Stay at one of the Anna Maria Island hotels or vacation rental homes scattered around the Island. Cycle or walk to your favorite watering hole to enjoy the sunset. Leave the car at home and travel the island by trolley bus.
