Anna Maria Island Sun
The north end of Anna Maria Island is one of the most desirable areas in, Manatee County, in the Tampa Bay area, in the state of Florida and, I’ll even go so far to say, in the entire country. The confluence of impeccable beaches, clear sparkling water, fishing piers, restaurants, marinas and perfect boating access makes the northern tip of the Island an island wonderland.
