About Anna Maria Island

Anna Maria Island is a 7-mile stretch of land composed of three cities - Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, and the city of Anna Maria. Each area provides its own unique style and flair, with no shortage of first class dining and cuisine, beachside comforts and libations, boutiques, shops, arts, and all within this unique Gulf Coast island. The island provides a free trolley, and conducive to its relaxing atmosphere, the speed limit does not exceed 35 mph, giving you the time you need to enjoy the beautiful scenic beachside views extending the entire length of this three city paradise. Stringent regulations on what types of businesses and buildings can occupy the island allow for each city to maintain its distinctive charm. No matter which area you decide to enjoy, the entire island is fairly narrow, only spanning a few blocks, allowing all who stay to hear the sweet serenade of ocean waves at all times. The white sands and immaculate blue waters are what entice most to reside on Anna Maria Island, so that they can truly enjoy what it feels like to live where most people can only vacation!
