Omgggggg this island is a beautiful getaway. The sand is white and fluffy. The water was clear with gentle waves. Water temp was about 70 degrees. We visited for a week in Nov 2025. If you're looking for a vacation please consider this beautiful island.

Everyone LOVES Anna Maria Island! Don't knock the Kokamo Tiki Bar & restaurant, it's the best value for drinks & food along with the best view for sunsets!

Beautiful beach! The car has to be parked a bit far from the beach access, but it’s worth checking out! If you manage to get a house right on the waterfront for the weekend, you can call it paradise.

It was very beautiful and the weather is so nice. And the beaches have beautiful white sand and clear blue water. 100% Recommend

Love this absolute paradise. Biking and exploring the island is so beautiful and calming. Especially surprised with the condition of the island after the 2 major hurricanes only a year ago (Nov 2024). Hopeful to see the reconstruction of the City Pier and Rod & Reel Pier

My family of 8 enjoyed Anna Maria Island! Beautiful beaches! Enjoyed the local shops and restaurants. We rented a home in walking distance to the beach. We also took a chartered boat trip which was probably our favorite thing to do! Golf carts are very popular. We will be back.

Had a great birthday 2 night visit... Parking sucks so be prepared to walk a few blocks to beach... Overpriced average eateries is expected... Great sunsets... Great sugar sand beaches....I prefered Cortez Beach with free close parking....Anna Maria is overbuilt already....drive south 5 minutes for less crowds...
