Oh, Anna Maria Island, additionally known as AMI, how I really like you. Shawn and I visited AMI for our first time in 2021 after pals of ours had advised us we needed to go.

For sure, I’ve spent my justifiable share [yet not enough] time in Anna Maria to *virtually* think about myself a neighborhood professional in the case of every part it’s worthwhile to know in regards to the island.
It’s really such a gem, pure paradise, and a spot of peace. The island is barely 7 miles lengthy and 1 mile vast, with probably the most stunning, crystal clear water surrounding it. Just a few of my favourite issues in regards to the island:
- It’s not commercialized. In truth, there can’t be excessive rises on the island, so it primarily consists of all houses [lots of beautiful ones at that, which makes riding around the island a fun activity in itself].
- Chains aren’t allowed on the island, which means every part there’s a regionally owned small enterprise.
- It has an “previous Florida” appeal – it’s not too fancy [not fancy at all, really] and you may be tremendous informal all day lengthy. It’s superb how little I put on make-up nor costume up once I’m on the island – similar to paradise is meant to be for my part!
- Whereas it’s a small island, it isn’t missing in something. You’ll see simply from the eating choices beneath that it has a lot to take pleasure in! You may make your journeys right here as busy or as quiet as you need them to be!
- The situation – situated on the Gulf of Mexico, the seashores are among the greatest, whereas being only a 30-60 minute drive from some superior off-island areas! Extra on these beneath!
- The benefit of getting across the island. I really like that after we’re “dwelling”, we’re not often in a automobile. It’s a golf cart-friendly group and that’s actually our solely mode of transportation whereas we’re there. Actually, the very best!
