Holmes Beach is a small town on Anna Maria Island in the Gulf of Mexico just south of Tampa Bay. It boasts miles of gorgeous white, sandy beaches, emerald Gulf waters, and abundant sunshine.If you want to spend a day on the water, there is excellent fishing in the waters surrounding Anna Maria Island. Take a charter boat and head out in the Gulf for an exciting day of sport fishing. The grouper, snapper, or mackerel you catch can provide the ingredients for a delicious seafood dinner at your vacation rental. Inshore or backwater fishing is also very popular. Enjoy a beach picnic with the locals under the Australian Pines, or find a secluded cove and enjoy some private sunbathing. Prefer an animated beach crowd? Then the all-you-can-eat pancake breakfasts at "Cafe on the Beach" is your scene.

Reviewed By I5101IEjayd - Bloomsburg, United States

Small shopping plaza with everything you need right at the beach, wash stations, excellent free parking, the only downside the beach has is that 2 in under the sand are tons of tiny shells... But considering all else, this is a great Beach!!!!!!

Manatee Beach Park

Reviewed By JeanDunc05 - Easton, United States

Great beach with lifeguards present and nearby restrooms. Parking a tad tricky on weekends but if you drive around for a while you succeed. Never too crowded for fun and the water is beautiful. We found some sharks teeth. Restaurants nearby. And a trip to the N Jetty is fun. There is a quirky little shack that houses snacks, beer and wine close to parking on the jetty.
