FLORIDA - ANNA MARIA ISLAND

In its early years, the only way to get to Anna Maria Island, on Florida's Gulf coast, was by boat. It wasn't until 1921 that the three towns on the island, Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach and Anna Maria, were connected to the mainland. Now, although this seven-and-a-half-mile island is accessible via three different bridges, it is natural once over those bridges to feel you've gone back in time. The friendly, easy-going residents and readily apparent Old Florida heritage of the island are reminiscent of a bygone era. This laid-back culture is both a natural by-product of the serene tropical environment as well as a deliberate effort by the local governments to preserve the natural and cultural richness of the island. Because strict zoning laws prohibit high-rise development, the entire island has just two structures with more than three stories.

Surrounded completely by beaches, the three towns are part of an island-wide program to replenish and protect the coastline from erosion. The beaches provide spectacular vistas and are home to exotic wildlife that beguile vacationers and residents alike.
