Holmes Beach

Homesteaded in 1896 from Gulf to Bay, the area now called Holmes Beach wasn’t incorporated until 1950. As an ideal place to relax, Anna Maria Island offers three cities with stunning beaches and outdoor activities. With free trolleys, bicycle routes and boat access, transportation around the island is easy.

Offering outdoor adventures and plenty of shopping and restaurants, residents aren’t short of things to do. Boutique shopping and quaint businesses line the cozy streets, selling beachwear to bed linens, not to mention local artist fare. If you are more the adventurous type, take a boat or kayak to the Intercoastal Waterway; check out the spectacular views while parasailing or scuba dive on the sugar barge.
