Anna Maria Island offers much to do on and off the water. Of course there are plenty of beaches to go around but there is so much more to do. There are fishing charters, sailing charters, and even parasailing for the more daring. Some tours and excursions around Anna Maria Island will have you home by lunch. Others could finish with scenic sunset cruise like the cherry on top of a perfect day.

There is nothing like seeing a dolphin in the wild. Often times they play in the wake of the boat as you pass on by. There are sand bars to be explored, shells to be collected, and Egmont Key is an experience like no other. You will see plenty of birds and perhaps will fortunate enough to spot a manatee or two. There are several local providers for tours and sightseeing. So if it is a journey you seek, then skip the beach dive into an adventure around Anna Maria Island.
