Valentine's Day in Anna Maria Island this year:
Watch the Sunrise from a Beach
One of our best features of Anna Maria Island is the beautiful beaches you will find all over. The sandy beaches are pristine and always a joy to spend time at. Spending time at the beach can be done at any time of year with the warm weather we typically experience. In fact, you will find daily highs in the mid-70s during your Valentine’s Day visit easily allowing you to forget your snow gear back home. The water will be chilly so splashing around in the water may not be the best idea but one thing you can do from the beach is watch the sunrise. Many of the
beaches on Anna Maria Island face east so you will get the best glimpse of the sunrise. There are a few spots around the area that are perfect for a sunrise viewing. Head over to Bridge Street Pier for the first spot. The pier has been renovated recently making it a great spot to enjoy. However, the most popular spot may just be Bean Point. This is one of Anna Maria Island’s most popular beaches and is frequented by many locals and visitors. Enjoy the sunrise
from the beach and take a stroll for a romantic time with your loved one.
Explore Anna Maria Island by Bike
Another romantic activity that your loved one is sure to enjoy with you is further exploring Anna Maria Island even more. There are several trails that are best explored on a bike ride. Check out local
shops to rent out a pair of beach cruisers and check out areas such as Coquina Bike Path. The scenic views will offer a touch of romance to your visit. You can ride on by local shops to check out local wares. You can also explore the local nature preserves too. There is nothing better than getting outside in our lovely weather checking out the views.
Have a Romantic Dinner for Two
It should go without saying that Valentine’s Day is never complete until you have a romantic dinner for two. Valentine’s Day is always the busiest evening for
restaurants as couples look to enjoy a fine meal together. Anna Maria Island is home to many wonderful restaurants that are sure to be a great host for your meal. A local favorite for fine dining and incredible views is The Waterfront Restaurant. This fine dining restaurant can be found right by the Gulf, providing you and your date with the best evening possible.
The menu features rotating seasonal dishes that include fresh seafood and prime cuts of steaks. Pair your meal with a bottle of wine or unique cocktails. The views from the table cannot be beat. Another great spot is Sandbar Seafood & Spirits that is more on the casual side. You can enjoy items from burgers and salads to oysters. The restaurant is family friendly perfect for those who have the kids with them. Make sure to reserve your table well in advance for this popular time of year.

They also offer a breakfast menu for the early birds, and amongst the waves it can be a lovely way to kick off the day. For inspired beachside dining, be sure to make reservations at the Beach House Restaurant down in Bradenton Beach, where you can dine on the sand on their patio, and feast on the fruits of the sea. If you need a low-key idea that doesn’t sacrifice on a beautiful yet intimate setting, pack a gourmet picnic lunch to enjoy at a secluded beach spot!
