Holmes Beach

Among Florida’s coastal cities, Holmes Beach stands out for its position on Anna Maria Island, between the Gulf of Mexico and Anna Maria Sound. The low-rise community occupies the island’s central section, where public beach access, residential streets and local businesses follow the scale of a barrier-island town. Incorporated in 1950, Holmes Beach is named for John E. Holmes, whose development activity helped shape this part of the island. Manatee Public Beach is a well-known local access point to the Gulf shoreline. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island.
