Florida North West Beaches

[Grog]

I spent part of my childhood summers on Anna Maria Island, about an hour's drive south of Tampa (including the incredible highway 19 bridge). We would stay at some motel in Holmes Beach, now called the Anna Maria Island Beach Resort. It was a great beach, not many waves, and I loved the long pier. There were often dolphins and manatees swimming around people there.

That's a really long time ago, though, maybe development has taken over. (Really long time, like 15 years. Not 50. But still.)

And the sunsets.

Here's a photo of the pier:
