Things To Do
Whether you’re making a vacation out of the weekend or just exploring between wedding festivities, here are some of our favorite spots around Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key!
Spend the afternoon relaxing on the quieter beaches of Longboat Key or visit Anna Maria/Bradenton for a more lively atmosphere
Head to Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach for restaurants, bars, shopping, and nightlife
Our favorite restaurants:
The Sandbar
Beach House
Dry Dock
Bridge Street Bistro
The Ugly Grouper
Book a snorkeling or sunset cruise with Flip Flops Sailing
Rent a jetki and explore the sandbars or go parasailing
Take the Gulf Islands Ferry for a fun local experience
Renting a bike or golf cart for rides around the island are always a favorite with kids. The area is super golf cart friendly, especially around Anna Maria Island. You can also use The Monkey Bus or Trolley for fun local transportation
Grab a cocktail and watch the sunset from the beach (our personal favorite)
For all the days along the way
