Snorkeling on Anna Maria Island

By -
There are many places to go snorkeling on the island while your here on vacation.  There are submerged historic items and plenty of fish to see and sea shells to find!

Right off of Bradenton Beach around 7th street is the Regina Sugar barge.  Its was carrying molasses when it sunk during a storm in 1940.  Its located about 150 feet off the beach. It about 20 feet down, and over 200 feet long. This area is marked off by buoys.

Grab a Kayak and head out to the historic Egmont Key Island!  Its about 3 miles away from the Anna Maria Island City Pier.  Ruins of Fort Dade from the Spanish American War are submerged right off the shore of the island.  Plus the island contains brick roads and a 137 year old light house.  There are grassy parts that contain fish and other sea life right off the shore.

If your looking to snorkel to see fish great place is off of 30th street about 100 feet out. Also by the 3 piers in Bradenton beach you can swim under them and see all different types of fish.

Snorkeling is the best way to find Sea shells anywhere on Anna Maria Island, So grab the family and rent your snorkel gear and start discovery today!

Vibrio vulnificus is not the same thing as Necrotising Faciitis which can be caused by many strains of bacteria, including Vibrio Vulnificus. Vibrio Vulnificus infections happen only rarely, with two confirmed cases in Manatee county residents in 2016, zero in 2015, and one in 2014, according to the Florida department of health. Of these there were no deaths. So while we are all far more likely to expire from a car accident, or even the flu, than from a Vibrio Vulnificus infection, there are still some precautions we can take. People with weakened immune syste...
