Fit in a walk by the water and soak in the views at Anna Maria Sound. The glittering sea and gently bobbing boats make for a great photo opportunity.

This place for ships to anchor won't cost you a cent, which is just what you want if you're after free things to do. You'll find Anna Maria Sound in Manatee County. There are plenty more attractions to see nearby, including Coquina Beach, Bean Point Beach and Cortez Beach.

Nice place. Kids had a good time. Not encouraged to go there if you are a minority. You wont feel welcomed. The staff is great, but the type of people that go there arent really folks that likely share the same interests as you do. There are Confederate flags all over; etc. Hotel rooms are no bueno, old. IF you want something nice, you need to spend the money glamping or have your own trailer.

Perfectly located on Ocean Drive with an old-school Art Deco vibe that feels both historic and fresh. The room was spotless, the A/C was ice cold, and the bed was genuinely comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. You’re across from the beach, but it still feels like a quiet escape. Would absolutely stay here again.
