There are so many fantastic beaches to explore during your stay at the Anna Maria beach resort. One of the most popular locations to spend a day at the beach is the Manatee Public Beach. This is considered one of the top attractions on Anna Maria Island, and you won’t want to miss spending some time here during your stay in town.
Manatee Public Beach is located just off of Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach. The park is open from sunrise to 10 p.m. and is a wonderful spot to try out any time of the day. There are three access points to the beach which makes it easy to get to and enjoy.
One of the best things about the Manatee Public Beach is all of the amenities that are included nearby. Of course, you’ll find the white sandy beach and the beautiful blue clear waters. However, Manatee Public Beach is much more than just the beach, and that’s what makes it worth at least one visit during your stay at the Anna Maria Island Resort.
Here, you’ll also find benches, bike racks, grills, and picnic tables. This makes it the perfect spot to spend the entire day and even bring some lunch along with you. If you don’t want to bring a picnic, that’s fine too, because there’s also a concession stand that can provide a snack or a cool drink. If the beach gets tiring you can also check out some of the volleyball courts or the playgrounds here as well.
