Sunset from Anna Maria Island, Florida

This weekend started with a trip to the beach with the excuse of having dinner somewhere different. I haven't been to Anna Maria Island many times. I forgot how nice the sand is here. The sand is soft, white, and powdery. We didn't get a spectacular sunset because it was a too cloudy. It looks like every time that I take my camera out, is a cloudy day. I was happy to be at the beach watching the seagulls at the end of a long work week.

Can I live in one of those houses?

After taking a lot of pictures, we walked towards the Sandbard Restaurant to have dinner. I found a recommendation for this restaurant in a local beach rentals website.
Sandbar. Anna Maria Island, FL


While we waited for a table, I noticed that the birds were flying in a single line. It lasted for at least 5 minutes. I tried taking a few of pictures, but it was already dark. 

Can you see the birds across the water?

Anna Maria Island is located about one hour south of Tampa. After our nice dinner, I am sure that we will be back.  If you are looking for a nice place to eat and watch the sunset, the Sandbar restaurant is a great place. We waited at least one hour for the table. There was a live band and the view from the waiting area made it feel short. We were not too hungry so we just ordered a couple of appetizers. Next time I want to have some of their fish dishes after spending a whole day at the beach.

    1. Thanks Julie! it was a great date. we never go too far and end up eating in the same places. I'm glad that we drove all the way there. It took me a while to convince him, but I think he liked it too.
