Ana Maria | Holmes Beach

A small beachy town that offers total relaxation.

Welcome to Anna Maria | Holmes Beach

A laid-back atmosphere in a Florida beach town

Perched at the north end of the barrier island separating Tampa Bay from the Gulf of Mexico, Anna Maria is a small beachy town that offers total relaxation. Classic beach town vibes weave throughout this breezy island, and the atmosphere is wonderfully low-key. 

Belonging to Manatee County, Anna Maria is one of three towns on the island. Holmes Beach sprawls across the center of the island, and Bradenton Beach covers the southern end. The long swath of white sandy beaches is a stunning sight, and the warm, turquoise waters lap playfully at the shore. Residents love the loungy vacation feel of daily life, typical of Anna Maria and Holmes Beach. The colorful homes bring a touch of Key West style, and the locally owned shops add to the small-town feel of this warm and welcoming community.

Sporting extra wide beaches and rustic charm, Anna Maria Island is the kind of place where you can check your cares at the door, dig your toes into the silky sand, and live every day as a holiday. The beaches here are rugged, untamed, and entirely stunning in their wildness. This is the best of Old Florida, with its driftwood signs and friendly community. 

Unassuming and adorable, Minnie’s Beach Cafe embodies the heart and soul of Anna Maria and Holmes Beach. With a classic diner menu of breakfast and lunch favorites, Minnie’s features scratch-made breakfast staples like biscuits and gravy, omelets, and griddle specialties in a wonderfully kitschy, ocean-themed setting. The exceptional Beach Bistro refers to its sommelier as the Bistro Wine Guy, and although the chef-driven creations are the stuff of epicurean dreams, the attitude is decidedly breezy. The menu includes cheeky notes to the diner, and the Bistro has elected to eschew the traditional upscale escargot in favor of lush local lobster.

Shopping on Pine Avenue is always an enjoyable experience, and the eclectic selection of shops and restaurants is cheerful and charming. You can even walk the Avenue from Tampa Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. Down in Bradenton Beach, the Bridge Street Bazaar is the perfect opportunity to be a tourist in your own town. You can find beach gear, swimwear, and funky souvenirs or play a round of mini golf before getting an ice cream cone.
