Go Parasailing

Another great activity that will be easier to book in late summer and lead to an amazing time on Anna Maria Island is parasailing.

Sea Rocket Gulf Coast Parasail tends to be booked in advance, so make sure you book prior to your arrival. They will show you how to handle all of the excitement safely.

Time at the Beach

You simply cannot visit Anna Maria Island without finding a little time for yourself at the beach. Some popular beaches in the area include Manatee Public Beach. This family friendly spot has all kinds of amenities including public restrooms, a playground, and picnic tables. The largest beach here at Anna Maria Island is Coquina Beach and is always happening in the summer season. You are sure to find large crowds in the middle of summer. However, the late summer season tends to be quieter, allowing you to spend every day of your stay here at the beach. For a quieter and more serene moment, head down to Bean Point Beach. It is off the beaten path and tends to have a secluded atmosphere. Be aware that Bean Point Beach does not have lifeguards on duty, so swim at your own risk.
