Absolutely beautiful day!
What a great trip to this beautiful beach!! Parking is tricky, I think only road parking which makes for a little walk but not terrible. Beach is full of everything from fishing and swimming to shells and walking! My son found a star fish!! And we also came back with 7 full sand dollars! Such a great couple hours and we can’t wait to return, area is extremely nice and a unique beach compared to others.

Beautiful
We took a little road trip up from Sarasota, had been recommended this spot. Excellent, area and beach is beautiful, easy, free and plenty of parking. Nice facilities and playground. Also came on a market day which was a nice atmosphere. Did a little fishing; no luck but saw tons of dolphins up close! Definitely recommend and we’ll be back!

Fabulous Peer!
The peer was great! Very roomy and great view points! Waves were still, restaurant options were great and the fish were easy to spot! There were cranes and so many exotic animals!

Caribbean sand in the USA 🇺🇸😀
Hours sunrise to 10p. Restrooms, showers, lifeguards, changing stations food and drinks and a tiki bar. Soft white groomed sand. Free parking. Chair and umbrella rentals. All you can eat pancakes at the AMI cafe. Less people towards the north end.
Just a one star drop because of the sea lice. I found out later that Southwest Florida is a hot spot for it. Just remember to shower/rinse off thoroughly before and after going in the water. I just let the wave hit my lower legs and still got it due to inadequate rinsing.

Worth the windy walk
Well worth the windy walk! We toured the coastline from one side of the island to the other. We were surprised to find the nature center at the end. The up closed pelicans and other birds was super cool!

a hidden gem
If you drive too fast you'll miss one of the coolest places around this area. the Bridge Street Pier. We went there back in August and loved it, so when family came down in December we took them there. The Anna Maria Oyster has great food, plus you can take a beautiful sunset cruise from there too. We hope to go back there again soon.

Great little nature walk
Great place to go for a walk. Nicely shaded and easy walk for most people, young or old. Has offshoots several times to get good views of the bay. Had gravel, sand and boardwalk surfaces. Went on a nice day and took or time. Only criticisms I would make is that the trail could do with maps. It’s not a huge place or a big walk, but it would be helpful.

Great Place To Take The Family
Free, ample parking. Wonderful, warm, light blue clear water. The beach is pretty flat so it’s easy to get in and out of the water. It was clean water; just some seaweed. Nice store and snack spot.

An Enjoyable AMI Experience
Enjoyable long standing (74th season;1949) community theatre. A small theatre of less than 150 seats set in an historic island house at the corner of Gulf Drive and Pine avenue. The seating is very comfortable with excellent sight lines and sound. The pricing is quite reasonable with tickets available online or from the theatre box office. Usually several productions throughout the year. Check their website for production and pricing details. Coupled with a pre-show dinner makes for a unique and enjoyable AMI evening.
