Anna Maria is delicate and quiet, far different from the larger and often louder Florida vacation destinations scatted over the state. Anna Maria Island is an ideal romantic getaway, one quietly tucked away on the fringes of Florida and filled with quiet beaches and wonderful restaurants.
Capture that island magic. Build on a budding romance. There’s little doubt that the island is perfect for romantics. What are some of the top romantic things to do on Anna Maria Island?
Ride a Tandem Bike
A tandem bike may not be as immediately romantic as a glass of wine by the beach or a moonlight serenade, but it is an insane amount of fun. It is also a different kind of romance, as you pedal through the small side streets of Anna Maria Island, scanning for the sights and admiring the island lifestyle.
You can find tandem bike rentals (and other equipment rentals) at places like Beach Bums and AMI Beach Fun Rentals. Both offer fair rates by the hour, week, or day, a variety of gear to traverse the island. You can go it together or get each of you on your own bike.
Sunset Cruise
Go on a sunset cruise! It’s one of the best things to do for couples. When you get right down to it, is there anything more quintessentially romantic? Book a charter boat cruise along the Gulf of Mexico with your sweetheart, and soak in the sights and sounds of Florida’s island life. Enough said.
