Manatee County beaches

Manatee County's four beaches share two barrier islands: Anna Maria Island with its three small beach cities, and quieter Longboat Key just south. All four run fine quartz sand, and parking is free everywhere, mostly on the street.

• Anna Maria IslandOld-Florida charm with no high-rises in sight.
• Holmes BeachThe quieter middle stretch of Anna Maria Island.
• Bradenton BeachAn old-Florida beach town on Anna Maria Island's south end.
• Longboat KeyA quiet, low-rise key with a handful of small beach accesses.
