Anna Maria Island just may be one of the most unpretentious places left on the planet. No one’s consulting their schedule via web-enabled cellular device, or looking at the logo on your shirt. They’re too busy with more important activities – like eating grouper sandwiches at funky little beach bars, kayaking with dolphins in Palma Sola Bay, fishing from an old wooden pier, or watching the sky turn 10 shades of beautiful as the sun settles into the Gulf of Mexico. Life is simple here and good – and even if you come for only a few days, you come away feeling better for that.
