Anna Maria Island Chamber of Commerce - Florida Chamber of the Year 2007/2008
Things To Do
From the
moment your toes touch the sugar-white sands of Anna Maria Island, you will know you have arrived at a vacation destination like
no other. Here, there is no need to plan your day around best
times to avoid crowds and traffic delays. Once your feet hit the
beaches, you chart your
own course, be it languishing on a blanket surfside or off and
running to enjoy a unique island adventure.
EXPLORE
The best way to explore Anna Maria Island is ped-power! Walking is
not only good for your health but the best way to see every
wonderful detail, from shell-lined shores to tropical birds and other island wildlife.
Rather catch a ride? The island offers a free trolley service and there are plenty of places to
rent a bicycle, canoe or boat. If you're up for the adventure, you
can get a bird's eye view of the island by taking a parasailing
ride or check out the
catch-of-the-day up close and personal on board a deep sea fishing
charter!
Shopping is another way to explore the island. Throughout the
island you will find
everything from traditional beachwear to fine linens and jewelry
designed by local artists.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES Take a boat tour, kayak to the
intercoastal, scuba dive on the old sugar barge, parasail, bird
watch or take a relaxing walk on our pristine beaches and collect
beautiful shell
mementos of your vacation. Whatever your passion, Anna Maria
Island is "Your Island Adventure In The Sun."
CULTURAL

opportunities will fill your
