SHHHH!!! Hidden Gem in Florida!! Anna Maria Island
Рет қаралды 22,154
15 күн бұрынWe are out to find the best beaches in America! And we found a hidden gem in Florida!! Anna Maria Island is a little south of Tampa on the Gulf coast and is a very small community. It has a completely different vibe than any beach we have ever been to. It says ‘come and chill’… the beach is quiet and relaxing!
There are tons of restaurants right on or near the beach and the food is excellent! The beaches run all along the island… but parking can be a challenge, especially in a larger vehicle. But we loved it here and will definitely be back!!

Anna Maria is my all-time favorite beach in Florida. The sand is like white cake flour, never felt anything softer between my toes. I remember (for the most part, lol) a night of Midori coladas, having dinner with my toes in the sand. Paradise! for sure.

We love the beaches around Sarasota and Bradenton. Longboat key, Siesta key, and Lido key also have amazing beaches.

I have been visiting AMI since 1953 when I was 1-my grandparents loved it and took my parents there in 1952. It continues to be our favorite beach!

My parents and grandparents had winter homes in Sebring, Florida, and i always thought i would retire to Florida. Central Florida is like a second home to me. Our daughter lived in Lakeland for several months until her husband's company moved him to Atlanta. The kids keep twisting our arms to move to North Atlanta, but Florida still holds many fond memories. But... in the past four years, so many northerners have flocked to FL that prices have gotten outrageous, including insurance and HOA costs.

I love you guys, but this place isn't THAT much of a secret. I've been coming here for decades now since I was little, and it's still amazing. The lack of big hotels just really adds to the super chill vibes. Great white sand beaches, great restaurants, and just great all around. I'm very fortunate that my family owns part of a house here. It's shared between about 4 families now, but it's still a great place to get to. Longboat Key just to the south there is great as well, but very high end. Then you have Lido with St. Armands Circle, and the world famous Siesta Key. This entire area is just brimming with the best beaches in the US. Edit: Big congrats to the wedding anniversary!

After you finish in Ocean City Maryland, if you continue NORTH I highly recommend a stop in Lewes Delaware. You might get lucky and get a camping spot at Cape Henlopen State Park, which is a lovely campground with beach access. A visit to Cape May NJ via the Cape May - Lewes Ferry might be another beach to add to your East Coast beach stops. If nothing else, just a visit to the ferry terminal in Lewes for a great meal!

We found out about AMI in 2020. We love it and plan on being there in September. It's really becoming a hot spot and pricing continues going up and up. Every time an older home is sold they tear it down and build a 3 or 4 story rental home. We like to rent a home on Holmes Beach with a pool. We enjoy mornings in the pool, walk to the beach for a few hours then back to house for lunch and back down to watch the sunset. 🌇 are beautiful on AMI.

Thanks for the church parking lot tip!! When we are down in FL for 2 months in the winter one of our stops is in Palmetto (just outside of Bradenton). We've been to Anna Maria twice. First time was just to go have a drink, second time was beach. We are there during spring break so it's very very busy. You have to pack your patience driving around but it is worth it!!

Grew up in Bradenton and AMI is indeed beautiful. But, if you are there in the winter, you may not consider it 'hidden'. There is a ton of traffic on the main road trying to get on/off the island. Try visiting in April, May, September and October to experience fewer people.

My daughtr and I and our two dogs, just got home to Kentucky from a trip to Jekyll Island Georgia. We disscovered it last year looking for beaches that allow dogs any time all year. I love the hustle & bustle of Panama City and Myrtle beach (we've been there probably 20 times.) But Jekyll Island is not very crowded and so relaxing. St. Simons Island is close by with more restaurants and a cool little beachy scene. Jekyll Island also has Driftwood Beach which is a must see. Its amazing. Tons of driftwood all over the beach.

We did Jekyll Island last year. I loved it. Quiet, not so touristy and relaxing. Our son-in-law discovered Jekyll Island when his company attended a conference there.

With so many beach stops, ya'll need to get a Shibumi sun shade. Game changer. And, it folds up great for storage. Way better than flimsy beach umbrellas.

It's too bad you guys didn't make It to Siesta Beach on Siesta Key. It is always at or near the top of the list when TripAdvisor surveys their subscriber. Living here we've done them all and they're all similar but there is a reason Siesta Beach gets top billing. White sand that never burns your feet and a laid back beach that Sarasota County take very good care of. Maybe next time. Love you stuff. It's your world, we're just living in it. Thanks.

Oh please be careful with the sand in Florida, as a floridian the sand at the beach is literally hotter than asphalt. I had a friend who got 3rd degree burns from running in the sand. I suggest getting a boogie board. You can throw it down and take a break in the sand. It's awful. I love yalls videos! Don't wanna see yall hurt.
