Anna
Maria Holiday Activities Be relaxed or active,
the choice is yours on Anna Maria Island!
With
so much sea and sky, nearly all activities on Anna Maria
Island involve these natural elements. This is the place
to come, not only just to relax on those golden white
beaches and enjoy the warm clear waters of the Gulf,
but to fish, sail, snorkel, walk and breath clean fresh
air!
There
are numerous establishments right on the island that
will give you any amount of assistance with boat hire
and fishing equipment, or complete fishing charters.
As many of our properties on the island have their own
private dock, it is great fun to hire a boat and bring
it right to your door, load it with picnic and fishing
gear, and then spend the day lazily cruising around
the bays and coves. The water is so clear that you will
never tire of searching for special shells, sand dollars,
and tropical fish, or exploring an uninhabited island
nearby.
And
for the more adventurous, how about parasailing and
jetskis? Several firms on the island will be glad to
help you enjoy either or both of these activities.
