"Located right on the beach, Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe offers a small tiki bar, a variety of food options including seafood, burgers, salads, sandwiches, and ice cream. Guests can enjoy a beer or cocktail while taking in the stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico. The cafe provides a paradise-like atmosphere, perfect for a fun day out. The friendly staff and laid-back ambiance make it a great place to relax. Sit at a beachside table, feel the sand between your toes, and enjoy a rum runner as you watch the daily entertainment starting at 5:30 PM. We enjoyed fish and chips and beer, soaking up the sea, sand, and sun. After spending an hour or so as the sun began to set, we headed to Rod Reel Pier to watch the sunset. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Parking is available in Municipal Parking, which is free but tends to fill up quickly. Be prepared to wait in line for around 10-15 minutes to secure a spot."
