ANNA MARIA ISLAND, Fla. â Despite still being in a pandemic, Manatee County is seeing some of the highest numbers of tourists ever and a lot of it is thanks to people coming to Anna Maria Island.
"We absolutely love the island. The sand is supers soft, the water is so calm, and the quaintness of the island," said Amanda Paddock, visiting from Indiana.

Paddock is like many who are drawn to the island, where there are no big hotels or spring break party crowds, but families who want a piece of the good oleâ days. Which is a feeling that many get right when they walk through the door at Ginnyâs and Jane E's.
