Compass Hotel Anna Maria Sound by Margaritaville

This hotel is just a few steps away from where the welcome dinner is being hosted. And it is not far from our ceremony either. For the big day we will have transportation arranged for recovery from this hotel.

Flight

Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ)

The Sarasota Bradenton International Airport is the closest airport to Anna Maria Island. Once you arrive you will be able to secure an uber ride to the island, or rent a car at the airport itself. Another airport option would be Tampa, but this is a bit further to the island, so Sarasota is suggested.

Travel Note

Inner Island Travel

There are only a few ubers on Anna Maria Island. Recommended ways of getting around the island once you arrive are: - The Free Trolley: This runs from Anna Maria City Pier to Coquina Beach. It stops every 2-4 blocks and runs from 6am to 10pm. - Rental Cars: You can rent a car when you arrive to the airport. Parking can get a little tight around the island but it is always nice to have a vehicle depending how much you plan to explore on your own. - Golf Carts: You can also rent a golf cart for any where from $60-$100 / day. These are easier to park and can operate on all the main roads as well. - Car Service: In order to return to the airport from the island we suggest hiring a car service if you do not have a rental car, as there are no returning ubers. Some options are: -- AMI Taxi (https://amitaxi.com) -- Navigating the Bay (https://navigatingthebay.com) -- AMI Premier Transportation (https://www.amipremiertransportation.com)
