Getting Here
Just an hour south of Tampa or a 20-minute drive due west from Bradenton, Anna Maria is accessible via I-75 (Exit 220) from points north and south, and I-275 (toll road) from the north. Arriving from the mainland by the Cortez (SR 684) or Manatee Avenue (SR 64) bridges, visitors to Anna Maria will instantly feel time slow down as soon as they cross Sarasota Bay and glimpse the island on the horizon.
