ANNA MARIA ISLAND ARTICLES

THE THREE TOWNS OF ANNA MARIA ISLAND

The City of Anna Maria

The actual City of Anna Maria is located on the northern portion of Anna Maria Island. The City of Anna Maria is home to many of the most historic island structures, including the AMI Museum and the Anna Maria City Pier. You'll find most shops and restaurants along Gulf Dr. and Pine Ave.

Holmes Beach

Holmes Beach, located in the center of Anna Maria Island, is the most heavily trafficked portion of the island. Many shops and restaurants are located along Gulf Dr., East Bay Dr. and Marina Dr. Many beach day-trippers are also drawn here for the convenience of beach parking at Manatee County Beach.

Bradenton Beach

Bradenton Beach is the township located on the narrow southern region of Anna Maria Island. It has dozens of great shops and restaurants lining Gulf Dr. and Historic Bridge Street. Cortez Beach and Coquina Beach are both very popular because of their convenient parking and quick access.

Come on & Take a Free Ride

The three towns of Anna Maria Island (Anna Maria, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach) are easily traversed with the Island Trolley. The big green trolleys travel from the Anna Maria City Pier on the north end of the island to Coquina Beach on the southern tip. Dozens of stops are strategically placed every few blocks along Gulf Dr. and Maria Dr., so the Island Trolley is convenient for everyone. Pick ups are 20-30 minutes apart from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Best of all, it's free!
