Anna Maria Island is a lovely barrier island in Manatee County, located within the Gulf of Mexico near Anna Maria Sound and Tampa Bay. The seven-mile island has become a major tourist destination along Florida's Gulf Coast today, serving as a bird sanctuary for native shore and migratory bird species such as pelicans, cranes, sandpipers, herons, hawks, and bald eagles. You can peruse the charming shops, art galleries, and restaurants.
Anna Maria Island is less than an hour from St. Petersburg and 1 hour 15 minutes from Tampa, however, you should plan on delays during the holidays.
