What to do and see in Holmes Beach, Florida (FL): The Best Things to do

April 6, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

Holmes Beach is a small town on Anna Maria Island in the Gulf of Mexico just south of Tampa Bay. It boasts miles of gorgeous white, sandy beaches, emerald Gulf waters, and abundant sunshine.If you want to spend a day on the water, there is excellent fishing in the waters surrounding Anna Maria Island. Take a charter boat and head out in the Gulf for an exciting day of sport fishing. The grouper, snapper, or mackerel you catch can provide the ingredients for a delicious seafood dinner at your vacation rental. Inshore or backwater fishing is also very popular. Enjoy a beach picnic with the locals under the Australian Pines, or find a secluded cove and enjoy some private sunbathing. Prefer an animated beach crowd? Then the all-you-can-eat pancake breakfasts at "Cafe on the Beach" is your scene.

I was researching spas in the Anna Maria Island area for a spa gift for my sister in law's 60th birthday gift. The family was planning a party for her at their rental house on the island on Oscar Day, Sunday February 10, 2020. After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, i contacted Claire Marie to inquire about sevices as a gift for my sister-in-law. Claire Marie was so accomodating and helpful in making suggestions for the cusotmized three-hour service - and even opened up her spa on a Sunday to accomodate these services. My sister-in-law was so happy with her services, she looked beautiful and refreshed after her facial, massage and haircut. She even received a specialized swag bag to take home of her favorite products used. The timing was perfect as the party prep was underway while she was getting services, Thank-you Claire Marie for helping us select the perfect gift for this special birthday girl!

I found the gym to be very clean, has a wide assortment of equipment and very easy to use. The equipment is older but I found most pieces to be in good working order and there was plenty of machines. The personnel ( Cameron, mostly) were friendly, professional and knew his stuff. I found the rates to be fair and will be coming back.
