From the reviews
Several vendors on the beach. Typical beach food and drinks selection. Kids playground on Holmes, Manatee Beach access area. The picnic area has picnic benches and grills and shaded for the most part. Very clean and free of garbage as the cleaning crew on the beach is phenomenal.
After spending a good amount of time at the beach, I decided to stop by for a drinkand I’m really glad I did. The bartenders are seriously awesome super friendly and genuinely cool people.
We have spent the week at this beach and on the island. This is a wonderful spot. Lots of parking. Free trolley all over the island pick up and drop off right here. Great amenities at this location for a perfect day at the beach. Great delicious food too
I love this place. Right on the beach beautiful view. The most incredible sunsets every night. Always friendly people there having a good time. The love music is great every time I've been there.
Getting married at Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
