Eat and be merry

Eating is important in Florida - which is hardly surprising given the amount of restaurants and the abundance of wonderful raw ingredients.
There is an amazing variety of restaurants on the island representing every type of food. If you like moderate priced seafood and want to sit on the beach at sunset, then the Sandbar or the Beach House are recommended. The Sun House Restaurant and Bar is just across the street from the Gulf and features “Floribbean Cuisine” which is the fusion of American cooking traditions with Caribbean and Latin American ingredients.
If you want to sit on the bay front, the Waterfront Restaurant at the Bay View Plaza is for you. For wonderful funky fun, take a chance and go to Mr. Bone's in Holmes Beach where you choose your beer from a coffin in the reception area. If it's just a sandwich you crave, then Rudy's in Anna Maria might be perfect (better yet, take it 'to go' and have a picnic on the beach just 1 block away).
Anna Maria has it all, from the famous Duffy's burgers to the ultra elegant meals served at the award winning Beach Bistro, and even Rotten Ralph's at the historic pier in Bradenton Beach, where you can pull up to the dock in your boat and place your order.

Whatever you want, Anna Maria Island has it all. For the best in vacation rentals visit www.annamaria.com to see how affordable real luxury can be.
