7 miles
Anna Maria Island total length — three distinct beach towns: Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach
Cortez Road
The primary SeaFlower-to-AMI corridor — Cortez is also a historic fishing village with some of Florida’s oldest waterfront seafood restaurants
Anna Maria Island is a 7-mile barrier island at the southern end of Tampa Bay — one of Florida’s most beloved Old Florida beach destinations. Unlike highly developed barrier islands elsewhere on the Gulf Coast, Anna Maria has maintained strict development limits (no buildings over 35 feet, no chain restaurants, limited commercial density). The result is white-sand beaches, a historic Pine Avenue shopping and dining district, and a character that is genuinely rare in 21st-century Florida beach towns.
For SeaFlower buyers, Anna Maria Island is not an occasional destination — it is a practical extension of daily life. The 3-mile distance (6–8 minutes on Cortez Road West) puts afternoon beach walks, Saturday farmers markets on Pine Avenue, and fresh Gulf seafood at Duffy’s Tavern or The Donut Experiment within any workday lunch break. No Florida master plan at SeaFlower’s price points can make this claim.
