PUBLIC SANDBAR TRIP
Discover Anna Maria Island’s most beautiful sandbars by boat!
Anna Maria Island Sandbar Excursion
Depart from Waterline Marina in Holmes Beach for a 2.5-hour public excursion to Jewfish Key and other signature Anna Maria Island sandbars. Cruise through clear, shallow waters where dolphin sightings are common on the way out to the day’s chosen sandbar.
Step off the boat into pristine, ankle-deep water to swim, snorkel, collect shells, or simply soak up the Florida sunshine. After plenty of time on the sandbar, your captain cruises you back to the marina past the same wildlife that came out to greet you on the way in.
