Beach Dwellers Invade West Florida Beaches

Florida Beaches
Home to the Most Welcome of Creatures...

Beach-bums

Places like  Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key and Siesta Key are obviously well known for their spectacular beaches... but that's not all they're known for.

This is a post first published to the Anna Maria Life blog. It's been republished here for your enjoyment.   

Beach Bums: Most Welcome of Beach Dwelling Creatures

More than 7 miles of white sand and aqua blue, Gulf Coast waters. The result of beautiful beaches, white sand and sun, is that it produces the famous Anna Maria beach bum.  

Beach bums on Anna Maria Island spend the day on the beach soaking in the sun.  They can be recognized by certain characteristics:  they are dark brown of course, they ride a scooter, small motorcycle or a bike, and of course they are regulars at the local pubs and bars. 

Beach bums have the life in paradise - they are never in a hurry and are always happy. 

Anna Maria Island really is a special place.  Check out our myspace page and all the Anna Maria Island Beach Bums

If you want to be a beach bum while visiting Anna Maria Island... start by renting a bike from Anna Maria Island Bike Rentals, most affectionately known as Fun and More Rentals.

Florida Need a Vacation?

You know, the kind of vacation where you get to lie on the beach surrounded by emarald seas, sun and surf.

Well, we do all need a vacation once in awhile. Heck, we deserve it, it feels great, it revitalizes us and the experts say its a must!

So why Florida you say?

It's obvious is it not. There are as many reasons to choose Florida as your vacation destination as there are people wanting to go there. A Florida vacation offers, well, Florida... warm waters, a tropical climate, and lots of things to see and do.

If you have a family, then Florida is perfect. If you're single, Florida is still perfect. And if its just you and your mate it just doesn't get any better than Florida.

Sure you have Disney World and miles and miles of beaches. You also have many wilderness and adventure experiences that the whole family can enjoy.

The challenge is waking up every morning and trying decide which experiences you're going to go for.

Florida has one of the most extensive state park systems in America. Whatever your tastes in a vacation experience, you'll find it in Florida. Spend your Florida vacation sunbathing on the beach, visiting Disney World, paddling a canoe in Alexander Springs... or simply taking in a little bit of everything Florida has to offer... its up to you!
