Anna Maria, FL

united states

Anna Maria occupies the quiet northern end of a seven-mile barrier island on Florida's Gulf Coast. Visitors drive west from I-75 via State Road 64 through Bradenton, crossing the Palma Sola Causeway to reach the island. The small city of 765 residents offers Gulf beaches and a laid-back atmosphere, with Sarasota Bradenton International Airport just 20 miles away. The Historic Green Village features the original 1927 city jail, a tiny wooden structure that's now a beloved photo spot.
