An island visit can include more than one kind of day on the water: a captained sail, a guided fishing trip or a sunset cruise. Explore the Chamber’s Fishing/Sailing Charters listings to find an outing that suits your group, then ask the operator about current trip details.

🌅 Some of the best vacation moments don’t need a reservation: a barefoot walk, a conversation with no clock to watch and a sunset you stay a little longer to enjoy.

Build your Anna Maria Island getaway around a few simple pleasures:

🏖️ White-sand beach days — leave room in the itinerary to unwind by the Gulf.
🍽️ Local dining and boutiques — make exploring part of the day, and discover a new favorite along the way.
🚎 The free island trolley — another way to enjoy getting around the island.
🌅 Gulf sunsets — a beautiful reason to slow down before the evening begins.

Need a starting point? The Anna Maria Island Chamber of Commerce’s Visitors Guide and Island Map can help you explore local places to stay, eat, shop and play. Find the digital guide at annamariaislandchamber.org.

Who would you bring along for a little island time? 💛

🗺️ Less guessing, more island exploring. The Chamber's 2026 Official Visitors Guide & Business Directory is a practical starting point for planning your Anna Maria Island visit—and finding the local businesses that can be part of it.

Three ways to put it to work:
• Choose a meal: PDF pages 9–10 include dining tables to compare cuisine and meal options.
• Plan some browsing: shopping starts on PDF page 11; arts and culture ideas begin on page 15.
• Contact a business: directory sections begin on PDF page 21, with addresses, phone numbers and websites.

Pick a few stops that suit your group, then confirm current hours, availability and services directly with each business. The guide helps you build a shortlist; a quick check keeps your plans current.

🌊 Give your next AMI day a little breathing room.

Start with a walk along the white-sand shoreline, leave time for a leisurely meal and see where a little browsing takes you. Anna Maria Island’s beach setting and small-town business districts make room for both unwinding and exploring—without turning every hour into an appointment. ☀️

Try a simple three-part plan:
🏖️ Choose some beach time.
🍽️ Pick a local dining stop.
🛍️ Leave room to explore a shop or two.

The Anna Maria Island Chamber of Commerce’s Visitors Guide and Island Map can help you find options that suit your group. Browse places to stay, eat, shop and play at annamariaislandchamber.org, then check current hours directly with the businesses you choose.

Save this for the getaway that needs a little less rushing. What would your ideal island afternoon include? 🌴

🌿 Give your AMI visit a little change of scenery. If you're heading onto the mainland, Palma Sola Botanical Park offers a garden outing in Bradenton with rare palms, subtropical plants and an exotic fruit tree collection to explore.

The Palma Sola Botanical Park Foundation is the AMI Chamber's 2026 nonprofit Business of the Year honoree—a reminder that the community around our island includes places worth discovering beyond the beach.

📍 9800 17th Avenue NW, Bradenton
Admission is free; donations help support the nonprofit park.

The park lists hours of 8 am to dusk, but private events can affect access, especially on weekends. Check its calendar before you plan your stop. Enjoy the gardens at your own pace, and leave fruit and plants for everyone to appreciate.

Save this idea for an upcoming mainland outing: https://palmasolabp.org/visit/

📍 Not sure where to eat, browse or explore next? Start with a local connection: the AMI Chamber's Visitor Information Center in Holmes Beach.

Our office also serves as a Visit Florida Certified Visitor Information Center. Ask about area businesses, visitor information and the member brochures currently available. A stop here can help turn “what should we do today?” into a few local options to explore.

Dining, shopping and experiences are all part of discovering the Anna Maria Island area. The Chamber can help you find local information and make a shortlist of stops that suit your visit.

☎️ 5313 Gulf Drive, Holmes Beach
Call 941-778-1541 before visiting to confirm current hours and brochure availability.

🐢 The beach is part of your AMI vacation—and part of a sea turtle's journey. A clear, dark shoreline helps hatchlings find their way toward the Gulf. Sand holes can trap them, beach gear can block their path and bright lights can lead them away from the water.

Before you leave the beach, fill in holes and take furniture, toys and trash with you. At your beachfront accommodation, close blinds so indoor light doesn't reach the shore. Keep phones and flashlights off the beach at night, and give turtles space.

Caring for the island's natural setting is part of helping AMI remain a welcoming place for visitors, residents and the local businesses that serve them. These small end-of-day habits make that connection practical.

Share this checklist with your travel group. If you find a hatchling in danger, call Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch's 24/7 hotline, 941-301-8434, for guidance; don't release it on your own.
