Forty miles south of Tampa and just seven miles west of Bradenton, Anna Maria is a paradise island. With the Gulf of Mexico to the west, Tampa Bay and Anna Maria Sound to the east and Sarasota Bay to the south, the seven-mile-long tropical island is a gem, with beautiful white-sand beaches on all sides and a year-round population of just 1800. The island was originally discovered by the Timucan and Caloosan Native Americans and then by Spanish explorers.

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!

This is a beautiful spot, right on the northern end of Anna Maria Island. Parking is scarce (we found one close, due to a nice local who let us park in front of their home), but there is a public park just over 1/2 mile down, which you can park at, and walk to Bean Point. We went one evening for a lovely sunset, and then again during the daytime. You have excellent views of downtown St. Petersburg, and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge on the Tampa Bay side, and also nice beach area on the Gulf of Mexico. This is a MUST DO, on any trip to Anna Maria Island!

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!
