When we sit and ponder where we want to go on vacation each year-- we agree on Anna Maria Island. It has everything we need for a great vacation. The most beautiful beach and sand. Perfect accommodation choices. Free trolley around the island. Great shopping and dining. For a relaxing vacation, this is our only choice!

great place to visit though when staying here, look for a place off the main drag at spring break, it is a very busy road. Awesome beaches!

I just spent a week on Anna Maria Island. It was wonderful-----no high rise condos and no fast food restaurants. The weather was beautiful. We sat on the beach, read, rode bicycles, ate at great restaurants, and shopped at the neat shops. Very low key and relaxing.
