Located on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Anna Maria Island has plenty of family appeal. With over 7 miles of beautiful sandy beaches, with white sugar sands that are soft beneath bare feet, Anna Maria Island provides ample opportunity for swimming, sunbathing, and building sandcastles. Accommodation in the area is easy to find and versatile for whatever you need - be it a two-bedroom condo, a standard hotel suite, or a full house with bunk beds, a kitchen, private swimming pool, and a ping pong table. Anna Maria Island is only an hour’s drive from Bush Gardens in Tampa, and only two hours from Disney, so it’s well located for day trips, and the island itself has beautiful nature trails, great shopping boutiques, and more.
