Review:
The beaches of Anna Maria Island are well known for their shells, white sand, and beauty. While visitors can spend the day swimming or lounging on the sandy beach, shell collecting is why many people come to Anna Maria Island. People travel from all across the country, and the world, to find beautiful and colorful shells to take home as souvenirs. The key beaches on the island that are particularly great for shelling are Coquina Public Beach, Bean Point, Bayfront Park, Palmetto Avenue Beach, and Manatee Public Beach. Low tide is a great time to look for shells on these beaches.
