Welcome to the Anna Maria Island Blog
I am a local boy who grew up in and around Anna Maria Island and West Bradenton of over 20 years. After working, living, and relaxing on the island all of that time I learned a thing or two about how to get around, where to eat, how to have fun, how to respect, treat, catch and eat the wildlife, and how to never turn down a beach day or date just because it is high season and I can’t find parking.
This blog is written and kept anonymously to avoid being burned at the stake for giving away some of Anna Maria Islands best kept secrets and to hopefully help some other people enjoy this Island as Much as I have over the Years.
Some of the topics I cover:
- How and where to fish on the island
- Where you can buy fresh off the boat gulf seafood
- What restaurants will cook your fresh fish
- How to find parking anywhere, anytime.
- Best sandwich on the Island
- Best dinner on the Island
- How to avoid traffic
- How to Use the trolley system
- Best place to take a date
- The Monkey Bus
Thanks for visiting. Have fun, Be safe, don’t drink and drive, and don’t touch the manatees. It makes them sick.
