What to do and see in Anna Maria, Florida (FL): The Best Things to do Good for Couples
Forty miles south of Tampa and just seven miles west of Bradenton, Anna Maria is a paradise island. With the Gulf of Mexico to the west, Tampa Bay and Anna Maria Sound to the east and Sarasota Bay to the south, the seven-mile-long tropical island is a gem, with beautiful white-sand beaches on all sides and a year-round population of just 1800. The island was originally discovered by the Timucan and Caloosan Native Americans and then by Spanish explorers.

We walked in under a recommendation from an advert a friend had seen. We soon got talking with the owner who had more knowledge on his stones and their provenance than we could imagine as well as being very nice and welcoming. Photos of the people sourcing the stones and fossils on display are hung in each section showing their story. Despite it being a small store there’s so much displayed floor to ceiling that it took well over an hour to look at it all without counting the great conversation we had. Conclusion: - well located - vast selection of stones with more available off site - truly local, very cute and a refreshing atmosphere - get talking - you’ll learn a lot! - couldn’t recommend it more!

My husband and I felt very safe at the coquina beach bay walk today. I forgot to take my camera, so we will have to go back to capture the magic! I look forward to taking my grandchildren and sharing the very impressive educational signage! The walks through the mangroves was absolutely magical. We were there at low tide so we could see the mangrove roots with barnacles on them. The filtering power of their root system was quite visible! Do not miss this hidden gem!

This is a beautiful spot, right on the northern end of Anna Maria Island. Parking is scarce (we found one close, due to a nice local who let us park in front of their home), but there is a public park just over 1/2 mile down, which you can park at, and walk to Bean Point. We went one evening for a lovely sunset, and then again during the daytime. You have excellent views of downtown St. Petersburg, and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge on the Tampa Bay side, and also nice beach area on the Gulf of Mexico. This is a MUST DO, on any trip to Anna Maria Island!
