Things to Do

We highly recommend taking mom on a sunset cruise. It is the quintessential island thing to do. Especially in the winter, the horizon line is soaked in the clear rays of the sunset. The sunsets during the winter on Anna Maria Island are world-renowned. Try Paradise Boat Tours for an exceptional trip in the Gulf of Mexico.

For adventurous moms, a journey to Manatee Cove or a visit to Leffis Key Island Preserve offers an exciting outing. Both options provide a unique opportunity to connect with nature and witness the island’s incredible wildlife in their natural habitat.

Where to Eat on Mother’s Day

There are some truly captivating dining options on the island that would create an ideal experience for lunch or an evening out with Mom. The Sandbar Restaurant is a must-visit, renowned for its breathtaking views that extend right to the beach. You can even enjoy your meal with your toes in the sand! The restaurant’s patio is nestled right on the beach, complete with a cozy overhang to keep you cool and shaded—it’s undoubtedly one of the finest dining spots on the island.

Just a short distance away is the Anna Maria Island Beach Café in Holmes Beach. This charming cottage-style eatery embodies the historic charm of Old Florida. With its welcoming atmosphere, you can sip on tropical cocktails while soaking in the nostalgic vibes, making it perfect for moms who appreciate a rustic and casual setting.

For a unique dining experience, consider Salt Bar & Table. This chic, family-friendly venue offers both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing you to relax in a vibrant atmosphere. Enjoy meticulously crafted dishes and artisanal cocktails made from the freshest locally sourced ingredients, all served by our dedicated staff committed to providing exceptional service.
