Imagine Florida 30 years ago and that is how Anna Maria Island is 
today.  Powder soft beaches, exquisite sunsets, superb fishing and it 
is a bird sanctuary too.  Plenty to do; swimming, kayaking, dolphin 
cruises, sport fishing, golf, shopping or relaxing with a good book.

WHERE WE ARE: Gulf Coast near Bradenton - Fly into Tampa and drive 
[over 40 minutes and under an hour] over to Anna Maria Island on the 
Gulf of Mexico or fly into Sarastoa and it is 20 minutes to Anna 
Maria Island.  This 7 mile island is north of Sarasota and south of 
Tampa.
