    I visited here a year ago. It's beautiful but like everywhere else, so congested. Every square inch of space is built on and commercialized. I always thought I wanted to eventually move to FL, but it's just claustrophobic feeling. We took so many huge highways to get to this Island. It mucks up the natural beauty of it all.

    My family vacationed there in July of 2020. It was fabulous and relaxing. The beach was clean and beautiful. You could see to the bottom of the ocean. We rented a beach house only 2 blocks from the beach at a very affordable price. So I suggest to give it a try you won't be disappointed.

  • @kellywunderwald9961

    We saw this video on New Year's Day, and decided we would need to visit this amazing-looking place. Usually, this means a long time of preparing for such a trip from Montana to Florida, but it worked out incredibly fast and we just got back. We loved it, even though the weather was cold and very windy the first two days. (I guess that means there's only one more cold day left for the year on AMI now, though! :D) However, it did get better, and we had a great time. The beaches are unbelievable, and the SAND is very unique.
    My husband got to fish on the Rod & Reel Pier and caught 4 sheepshead, a pufferfish, and some small crabs who were just using him for his bait. It was $2 to fish all day, $2/hour per pole and $2.50 per dozen bait shrimp. Everyone out there was very friendly and helpful.
    The Ugly Grouper had the best meal in my opinion, but there was no shortage of good food. We shared a lot because there was a lot in each serving.
    One thing that's not mentioned in the video that I would have liked to know is that Ginny's and Jane E's (Gulf Dr & Magnolia) has a vendor shop inside as well as the bakery. It's such a great place!! I would have gone there first to buy gifts for my family had I known. Another vendor shop that is really great is in the building where The Waffle Press is located on Pine Street.
    We enjoyed the nature boardwalk he mentions here, and we also visited the Palma Sola Botanical Park in Bradenton and the Myakka River State Park to see some wildlife. These were close enough to be easy to get to, and good to visit on the days it was too windy at the beach.
    We really appreciated this video (all of his videos, actually. Ohmygosh, don't get us started on his youtube channel or we'll never get anything done)! What a great way to discover new places and have lots of local information at your fingertips! We watched this a ton as we "researched" to see where we wanted to visit on AMI, and then watched it one more time on our last day just to make sure we hadn't missed anything we wanted to do. I think we're done now, :), but thank you for helping us have a great vacation!

    As a local I can say you nailed it! Except for the 75 degree weather lol, that’s only in the wintertime but in the summer you’re looking at scorching hot 90+ degree days. The town does get pretty packed so I’m glad it’s not on any top beaches list...I want it to stay small and quaint so I don’t lose my secret beach parking spot 😉

    I lived in Holmes beach for several years. You will enjoy Anna Maria Island. Many good places to dine. Plenty of charter boats to charter for cruising, fishing, plenty of shops, pubs. Lots to see and do. I hope they still have the Trolley running.It was free back when. It is way easier to get around on the trolley as the Island can be crowded with traffic sometimes.Nice golf course on Key Royale too. Enjoy

    We've been coming here in March & April for about 20 years. The island was once a quiet retreat. It's now an over crowded nightmare. If you like traffic that barely moves, non-stop construction noise, lawn care people running trimmers & leaf blowers, kids yelling & screaming in swimming pools and exorbitant rental costs, this is the place for you. If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy a relaxing vacation, keep looking.

    • @rebekahwells5241

      My family has been renting there since the 70s, getting a week vacation. It really is shocking to compare my moms stories of the beach and atmosphere from her childhood to the congestion and tourism now. And the prices have just skyrocketed. It hard to believe so much can change in one lifetime. Still worth a trip imho, but definitely not a quiet, secluded “secret gem” of Florida it once was.

    • @SpiralSister
      @SpiralSister Год назад

      That can happen in certain areas for sure. Sadly, more people, for the same reasons we moved here, causes these kinds of issues. But there's an ebb and flow to it and we're still here--we live in a condo 4 miles from the beaches. We look for light traffic times on our phone map app and go to AMI then. We love the island vibe, sand, surf, music, and FOOD! ;)

Also down the road from Destin and basically the entire South Walton area, 30A has some of the best beach towns ever and is my personal favorite place on earth!

      @@mattsmith8901 I would say it's a great place to live! One never has to leave the island if you don't want. We live 4 miles from the beaches, in West Bradenton and hardly go to the beach due to traffic. If we lived there, we'd stay on the island. We do love W. Bradenton though as many of the restaurants mentioned in this video have sister restaurants on the mainland near us. We take visitors over to AMI, park at the beach parking and walk everywhere else. Any snooty attitudes are from those who vacation here and don't understand how to flow with the island rhythms.

    I’ve been traveling from Ohio to Anna Maria Island for vacation the last 5 years and agree with the rating of the beaches. Great Video! If your going to take a dolphin sighting/ wildlife tour I would recommend CAPT Kathe and Katie. Info was included in the video. It took me 3 years to find them, but will probably be doing it every year. You can snorkel in a shallow area at the same cost as the big boats. Can’t recommend it enough!

    I stay on Longboat Key once a year and Anna Maria is ny favorite place to go to! We kayaked along the island is saw so many cool wildlife. Can't wait to go back in May. Also, Skinny's restaurant is so freaking amazing.

    So Beautiful. I live in Clermont, but I can see this chain of beaches being my slice of paradise.
    Only 2 hours away can be a day trip or a 2ni getaway
    What a blessing it is being a Floridian✨

    My wife and I beachcombed Anna Maria Island a day or so after a storm passed through. The variety and beauty of the shells washed up onto the beach were staggering. After walking for miles we stopped at a beachside restaurant (there were only a couple) Had a meal and something to drink. Then a performer played guitar with one hand and flute with the other both at the same time. He was surprisingly good on both. We drove back to the motel we had booked as we were driving around Florida for a month on vacation. Many highlights from that whole trip but that day on Anna Maria Island was special to us both. It was like a day out of time.
    Anyway that's not why you called. Thought this video was good, but the guy doing the voice-over kinda made my teeth itch

    Glad to see you go in depth with my local beaches- great video- I personally hope it never makes a top list- the beauty of these beaches and the surrounding neighborhood without mega resort style beachfront is the absolute charm of the area. Beautiful drone footage! Thank you!

    • @TampaAerialMedia
      @TampaAerialMedia  3 года назад +1

      yep true, I think Anna Maria has local ordinances that would prevent a mega resort from opening up.

    I was born right in Blake hospital in Bradenton so this is my home. I've swam in those waters more times than I can count. It hurt me so much when I read a couple years ago that even more of the natural land and plant life was being destroyed just to build another god damn parking lot.
    I guess the song Big Yellow Taxi sums it up best:
    "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
    With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot
    Don't it always seem to go
    That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
    They paved paradise and put up a parking lot"
