Dear Vacation Guests,
If you haven't gone on vacation yet, now is the time to book your reservation. Our "Off Season" begins August 13th and the rates drop significantly. Mid-August through mid-December is a quieter time of year on Anna Maria Island. The beaches aren't crowded, you don't have to wait in line at Publix, and reservations are not needed at our restaurants.
Anna Maria Island is "one of the world's most important" nesting areas for endangered sea turtles. Turtle Nesting Season is May 1- October 31. During this time of year, turtles return to the same spot that they were born to lay eggs.
Please help protect these beautiful creatures by not disturbing nests on the beach. Any lights that could shine on the beach are strictly prohibited during the nesting season. (including patio lights, car headlights, fishing lamps, flashlights & flash photography) Artificial lights confuse seas turtles & jeopardize their instinct to return to the Gulf waters.
It is against both state & federal laws to disturb nests, hatchlings, and sea turtles. For information to help protect our amazing turtles please visit www.islandturtles.com or call Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch at 941-778-5638. When you're here, stop by our office for free information & activity books.
Cheers & beach wishes,
Marianne
