28 days and still too short. We just retired. Budget and grandkids would not allow us to stay longer (maybe 6 wks. in 2018). Dolphins can be seen at South Coquina Beach, where the bridge crosses going to Longboat Key. AMOB (Anna Maria Oyster Bar) at the end of Bridge St and the pier is a nicec place to eat (seafood & burgers). City Pier on North End of island also good… you can see the Skyway Bridge and occasionally Tropicana Field. We were not thrilled with Mr. Bones or Oma’s Pizza. The Donut Experiemnt on Pine St. on the North End is unique. Warm fried doughnuts made to order while you wait. Only open from about 7 AM to 1 PM. Entire “Red Barn” is only open from 10-4, full of some arts & crafts, island stuff, “junk” booths and lots of produce in the back. Beautiful beach and sunsets. Try to meet your neighbors in the other sailfish units, you might make yearly friendships.
