“After the Segway tour, I tried a range of seafood at the Anna Maria Oyster Bar. Oysters, calamari and some amazing shrimp were washed down nicely with a Key Lime Colada.
Following lunch, the afternoon was all about relaxing, well, after exploring the Historic Bridge Street, that is. Bridge Street is Anna Maria’s hot spot. It’s on Bradenton Beach, the southernmost city of Anna Maria Island. Bridge Street was once the site of the original wooden bridge connecting the island to the mainland. A beautiful fishing pier is in its place today. There’s plenty to keep you occupied on the street, from food to shopping, and there are spectacular views from the pier and the gulf beach.”
