Anna Maria Island

Anna Maria is your island in the sun. Its is about 7 miles long, a narrow strip of land joined by two bridges to the small town of Bradenton. It is just north of Sarasota, about an hours drive south of Tampa Airport. Two hours from Orlando Airport an about four hours from Miami. Disney World is also a 90 minute drive.

The seaward shore of the Island is an arc of lovely white sand beaches, and the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The eastern shore faces the inland waterway which separates the island from the mainland.Rentals and lessons for sailing, power boating, sailboarding or jet-skiing are available at a number of places on the Island, and of course it's a fisherman's paradise. There are playgrounds, parks, tennis and shuffleboard courts. There are also a few small grocery stores and boutiques.
