As featured in Southern Living Magazine, and voted by the AMI Sun's Readers' Choice Awards, Beach Bums is the best rental shop on Anna Maria Island for all your outdoor activity needs. We are very proud of our large, meticulously maintained, fleet of Rental bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, surreys, sunfish sailboats, and beach supplies, electric golf carts! We even have a marine biologist on staff to conduct kayak eco-tours.
We rented 3 bikes from Beach Bums for a 1 hour rental and had a blast exploring Anna Maria Island! The staff were so fantastic and friendly, the bikes were in perfect condition, they added cute parrot and shark squeaky horns and they even made sure we had lights on our bikes in case we stayed out past dark! I would highly recommend Beach Bums!

Rock shop that makes their own line of jewelry. Rocks, fossils, fossil shark teeth, dinosaur teeth, handmade obsidian knives, rock and roll memorabilia. Kids and adults can make their own necklaces. Come in to see our Megalodon Jaw with 90 real megalodon teeth.
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!
