Anna Maria's Beautiful Sea Turtles
Anna Maria Island is a great place to enjoy the warm sunshine, sandy beaches, and the sounds of the waves crashing on the shorelines. With free delivery and pickup on the island, Bradenton Beach, and Holmes Beach Fun & More Rentals can provide you with everything you need for your vacation. We have canopies, chairs, umbrellas, kayaks, and paddle boards. Each year sea turtles come to the beaches from the gulf to start nesting. Nesting season for Anna Maria Island is from May to October. Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch has updated on their Facebook page that the island now has 13 Loggerhead Nests,70 Least Tern Nests, and 2 active Snowy Plover Nests. Recently there have been false crawls on Anna Maria Island. False crawls are when the turtles come to the beach to nest, but don't due to either being spooked or the female turtle doesn't like the area. The sea turtles are cute and amazing creatures; however, they are on the United States Endangered Species list.
