Share the Sunshine

July 2025 Edition

Never Ending Summer!

Our BEAUTIFUL 7-mile-long barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico should be your 2025 vacation destination. Anna Maria Island is the perfect place to enjoy the slow-paced lifestyle that Florida originated with. Powdery white sand, turquoise water, surrounded by the sparkling Gulf of Mexico on the west and the deep blue bay waters to the east. Anna Maria Island is known for its Old Florida Charm, there are no high rises here, flip-flops are a way of life, and the speed limit never exceeds 35mph.

Come for charming boutiques, mom-and-pop eateries, and Southern hospitality. Take the free trolley where you want to go, hop off to shop or grab a bite to eat, and hop on the next trolley to continue your journey. Our friendly, laid-back way of life and endless activity options will keep you coming back again and again.

Anna Maria Island Awaits You!
