Just picture this: You and your family have just spent several wonderful hours on the white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island, you have worked on your tan, collected more shells than you can carry and played an exhilarating game of Volleyball. As you check your watch, you realize that what seemed like a few hours actually turned into most of the day and now your stomachs are rumbling.

Luckily, no matter where your Anna Maria vacation rental is, you are never too far from indulging in some of the most delectable dishes you will ever taste! From the freshest seafood to juicy burgers, the Island offers it all and don’t forget to leave some room for dessert!

Waterfront Restaurants

If you just can’t get enough of the beautiful water than you might enjoy dining at The Beachhouse Restaurant or The Sandbar Restaurant where you can enjoy the stunning views for lunch and dinner. Treat yourself to their mouthwatering menus all while taking in the breathtaking sunset over the Gulf of Mexico!

If you are looking for a more romantic take on dinner with a view than the Beach Bistro might be just what you are looking for!

Bridge Street Restaurants

On the popular Bridge Street you can enjoy a fantastic meal and work off all of those carbs you consumed on the Island’s only miniature golf course! This lively location offers several different restaurants to choose from and fantastic views just a short walk away – don’t forget to bring your camera to capture it all!

For a more casual take on some Island, grub stop into The Bridge Tender Inn where you can dine inside our outside for that true beach afternoon atmosphere. Start the evening off with some delectable appetizers as the setting sun glistens over the waters.

If you are looking to taste the catch of the day, pay a visit to the Blue Marlin, although it isn’t located directly on the water, the Blue Marlin and its neighbor, the Island Creperie, are not even a minute walk away from the Historic Bridge Street Pier, that leads you out to dazzling views of the area. Here you can observe local fisherman and visitors alike try their luck against witty sea critters or watch the boats go by!

Great Restaurants for Families
