THIS IS WHERE THE MAIN EVENT WILL BE TAKING PLACE!!!
The Beach House is the definition of casual, waterfront dining. A Friday night favorite meets location, location, location with a recommendation RULE that you MUST TRY THE KEY LIME PIE!
When I am out for breakfast and the waiter asks, "What would you like to drink?" I always answer..."whiskey". I guess I think it's funny. Anyways...this is a bar.
The couple that owns The Donut Experiment went to Anna Marie Island on vacation and realized there was not a donut shop....so they quit their jobs, sold their house, and moved to AMI. Feel like a boutique style donut made perfectly to your liking? Well once you do your morning yoga, head on down!
Coffee | Tea | Espresso | Bowls & Smoothies | Avocado Toast | Sandwiches | Beer, Wine & Champagne
Bakery/cafe serving espresso, breakfast fare, sandwiches & cinnamon rolls in a relaxed, funky setup. **$1 beers and the coldest mimosa you can get your hands on***
The COLDEST BEER on the island paired with a double cheeseburger - Need I say more?
You know how they say 'you never know how many friends you have until you own a beach house"? Well, cozying up in this in the courtyard at the Blue Marlin and listening to live music brings back that feeling of visiting those friends...at that beach house.
Up early on the Saturday of the BIG DAY? Then, it's time for some BEACH YOGA!!! Or ... Nama'stay facedown on my towel in the sand...
Shop around on Pine Avenue - everything from clothing boutiques to olive oils. What NOT to find? Tourist attraction for tacky beach attire...which makes me think, we should include a WHERE TO FIND a spray painted AMI t-shirt for your favorite family member.
Yes, Nick was able to find his fish tacos with roots from San Francisco's Mission District and YES you can taste it! Don't ask for Poppo...because he died but DO ASK for Morita Steak Taco if you can handle the heat!
EVOO | Vinegars | Pesto | Charcuterie | Curated Wine
Make sure to explore Bean Point! This area is something of a hidden gem, and one of the best things to do with kids in Anna Maria. This secret spot has one of the most stunning views of the beach and taking in a sunset from here is a total treat.
For a break from the beach cruise on down to Saint Armands Circle. Great location for shopping and dining. And a personal favorite durning the time Ali and her family spent in Florida.
