      We've only been to the beaches here and along the panhandle in Florida, but I got to say AMI might be the best we've been to!

      @The Detour Duo no argument here, the warm water, beautiful sun sets , meals on the beach.
      Sure beats the cold Irish weather we normally get.

    Literally spent so many seasons on Anna Maria Island growing up. My grandmother used to have a house in Bradenton, and we woul visit every year. I miss it so much, and I hope that some time soon I will make a return. Coquina Beach is still my favorite go-to spot.

    Of all the islands I’ve visited in Florida, keywaydin island has to be my favorite. It’s a small island that is only accessible by boat, it’s is in between Naples and Marco island which are both beautiful places. When I went here, I had the whole 12 miles of private beach to myself because there is only 2-3 homes on the island. The only downside is the 50 minute boat ride to go to any restaurant or store, but it is still very beautiful!
    I usually go to Captiva island, but couldn’t go there this year because of tornado damage. Anyways I can’t wait for my trip here!

    • @TheDetourDuo

      50 min boat ride is worth it for a beautiful secluded beach if you ask me!

    After visiting many of the Gulf Beaches in our 8 years here, AMI has become our go-to beach spot. It has a little bit of everything. Our favorite spot is the shaded grilling area in the Coquina Beach section that’s just steps away from the sand and water. A little late but, WELCOME to FL!!!

    AMI without a doubt is one of the best beaches in Florida. The sunsets there are sooo beautiful. We go there every summer on a girls trip. You guys did an excellent job capturing the vibe. So relaxing. There's also a lot of marine life to see like manatees, sea turtles and hammerhead sharks to name a few.

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  2 года назад +1

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  Год назад

      Thank you! Trolly runs up and down the island pretty consistently. We drove around, but honestly, it would have been easier to park at Manatee Beach, the parking lot is huge, and take the trolly wherever we wanted to go. It takes 15-20 mins to drive around the island, but sometimes congestion in the high-traffic areas is a pain.

    I love this video. My family has been going to this island since the 1950s and it is a little known secret that recently has gotten more expensive because the NYT wrote some articles about it. I am very dissapointed that this video dod not cover Duffy’s Tavern in the middle of the island. It is an excellent burger stand with cold beers filled with memorabilia in the north central part of the island along the main drag. That and The Sandbar near the edge of the island which is higher end. There has never been a time i have been there and seen an empty table.
    Only downside to this island is that its abit of a trek from the airport. But it is worth it because the beaches are amazing. I have gone there since I was very little and have swam with manatees and dolphins very close to the western shore of the island. Excellent fishing also.

    Is there parking specifically at AMI. Or do you have to park further out and walk or how does it work?

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  Год назад +1

      So there are a few different beaches along AMI. There are small parking lots sprinkled throughout the south of the island, either right next to the beach, or at most a 5min walk. The furtherest designated parking lot North that we found is at Manatee beach, and it's a huge parking lot right on the beach. If you wanted to go to Bean Point, then there is very limited street park. They have signs that say where parking is allowed and where it isn't.
