Best Times to Visit Anna Maria Island & Bradenton Beach
Unsure when you should visit Anna Maria Island or Bradenton Beach? Well, truth be told, there is no bad time! AMI and Bradenton Beach offer pristine weather all year round, but we think that there are a few key times when this area really comes alive with the marine life, bright sunshine, white sand beaches, outdoor sports, and much more. Read on to learn about the best time to visit Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach!
Springtime
Spring is one of the best times to visit AMI and Bradenton. You can experience fewer crowds, cooler temperatures, and great deals on accommodation. Although the water will be cold coming off of the winter season, this is ideal for surfers and other athletes who don’t care about wearing a wetsuit and shredding the tube!
We think that this is also the best season if you are interested in outdoor sports. For those who enjoy mountain biking, hiking, running, team sports, and swimming, the springtime means the trails are less crowded and the weather is colder, so you won’t overheat during your long runs along the coastal paths and sandy beaches.
Summer
If you are solely interested in pristine weather, beach days, tanning, and spending a relaxing afternoon by the pool in your bathing suit, summer is the best season to visit Anna Maria Island and Bradenton. Since AMI is hot almost all year round, the summer months you can rest assured will be extremely hot and sunny. This is good for those who want to feel the heat and cool off by jumping in the water! Keep in mind that summer is also the most likely time for storms, so you should be aware of the risk before heading here. If you want to take the risk, you can expect a temperature range between 70 and 90 degrees over the summer.
Fall
Not a fan of hot weather? If so, fall is the best time for you to come to Anna Maria Island and Bradenton! We love the fall for watersports since the ocean is still warmer from the summer, but you can enjoy cooler outdoor temperatures. Plus, people typically go back to school during the fall, so September and August are ideal times to avoid crowds.
