Dining
Most Anna Maria Island resorts boast formal restaurants with upscale menus, but the real flavor of the island is best sampled at its low-key beachfront restaurants. For ribs and burgers, head to casual eateries lining Holmes Beach. For jerk chicken or bangers and mash, head to Bradenton Beach, where tropically-themed waterfront bars boast eclectic menus.
