The beaches are just one reason to book an Anna Maria vacation rental. The island boasts museums as well as restaurants serving everything from fresh seafood to specialty cupcakes and donuts. Take a stroll on the pier—or down Pine Avenue with its colorful, eclectic shops. It’s not every day you get to soar hundreds of feet over the ocean, so if you’re feeling brave, try parasailing. If staying in the water is more your speed, check out Bean Point, and keep an eye open for manatees, which are known to mingle with human swimmers.

Rent Segways for the family and tour the island in style. Go on a sightseeing dolphin cruise, or have some high-powered fun on a jet ski.
