Anna Maria Island is a very beautiful and special place to many people for many reasons. The general consensus that many people have is that if you want to visit there, you will have the best experience by staying on the island and walking to the beach from your vacation rental, or using the trolley system to get around from place to place once you are there.
However, having a car and knowing where and how to park *like a local* when needed is paramount to your vacation experience success.
So, as your local guide, I am going to provide you with some best kept secrets and tips that only the locals (Specifically the Clever Locals) know about.
You will here from a lot of people “There’s not enough parking! There is simply nowhere for parking to be put!”, “There isn’t enough space for all the people that want to come here”, “It’s impossible to find beach parking” but for the Clever Local, these things are simply not True.
At this point in time I currently live off the island but when I want to go to the beach I just go and I never have to worry about waiting in hours of traffic only to not be able to find parking when I get there.
