Finding a unique spot to spend a holiday means that crowds will be smaller and you'll get to visit a place you'd never know existed otherwise. Some great places to visit are the islands of Anna Maria, Sanibel, Captiva and Amelia. Enjoying An Anna Maria holiday The Journal island is located just 40 miles south of Tampa & the island is surrounded by Tampa Bay.
You can access your Anna Maria holiday via the Cortez or Manatee bridges or you can even take a cruise to start your visit. An Anna Maria vacation is just right for relaxing on the beach. If you visit May through October, though, Florida beaches are filled with ocean turtles coming to the beach to lay their eggs.
If you are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a nesting ocean turtle, leave it alone. Bright lights, including the flash from a camera can scare the turtle, endangering the lives of the baby ocean turtles.
Welcome!
