My husband and I felt very safe at the coquina beach bay walk today. I forgot to take my camera, so we will have to go back to capture the magic! I look forward to taking my grandchildren and sharing the very impressive educational signage! The walks through the mangroves was absolutely magical. We were there at low tide so we could see the mangrove roots with barnacles on them. The filtering power of their root system was quite visible! Do not miss this hidden gem!

Anna Maria Historic Green Village

Reviewed By loisrebeccam

Pine Avenue and the Historic Green Village has subtle charm. Benches, a deli, front porches, and sustainable landscaping makes it a unique place for fine, as in healthy, dining and home town relaxation. With a view from Tampa bay to the Gulf of Mexico it is an interesting place to shop while on vacation. Be sure to walk the length of Pine Avenue to take it all in, then, keep coming back to find out more!!!

Wonderful walk down this pier; fresh air and you might be lucky to spot dolphins frolicking in the waves. You must not miss this little walk.

This place is temporarily closed due to a hurricane. It will reopen when repairs are complete.

We enjoyed a nice, leisurely walk out to the pier. Although it was a very hot day, the views we saw made up for that! Very quiet, loved watching the fisherman and the pelicans!

The Center of Anna Maria Island

The Center strives for excellence in meeting the human service needs of all those living on or near by our barrier island. We are focused on the community and open to all. In doing so, the Center is often seen as an “Educational Center,” a “Recreational Center,” a “Youth/Teen Center,” and a “Senior Citizen Center." The Center is all of these and much more.

It is very nice to see from the map with water on both sides. The center looks very nice and neat. It is easy to feel that all kinds of tourists are welcomed.

Bridge Street

Reviewed By latteboy50 - San Jose, United States

We stayed at BridgeWalk, a hotel at the very end of Bridge Street (near the beach). It's a pleasant street with a few shops and restaurants. The pier is at the other end; it's a nice place to walk around and enjoy views of the water. On Bridge Street are Bridge Street Bistro, Island Time Bar and Grill, BridgeWalk (hotel), Segs by the Sea (Segway and bike rentals), The Fish Hole Miniature Golf, Anna Maria Oyster Bar on the Pier, and other various places. Bridge Street worth a visit!
