Native Floridians have always known that Anna Maria Island is a destination of romance and beauty. The sun rises over the Tampa Bay to reveal sugary white sandy beaches and shells of every size, shape and color. Anna Maria Island has recently become a popular tourist destination as well. The word is out about this pretty little getaway on the west coast of Florida.
For those who prefer the feeling of being a guest in someone's home, a bed and breakfast is the best choice. Your breakfast awaits you when you wake up in the morning and your cozy room is there when you arrive home after a day of sightseeing.
One such B&B is the Harrington House Beachfront B&B, a lovely 1925 restored home.
