The Florida / Florida Gulf Coast region
Perico and Anna Maria Islands are in a perfect spot on the Gulf Coast in Central Florida a short drive south of Tampa/ St Petes Beach & Busch Gardens. North of Miami/ Naples/ Everglades and 2.5 hours from the Disney Parks. The climate could be described as tropical with short warm rain storms that btake the heat out of the day and this produces lush green Palm trees in abundance. The nearest big City is Sarasota, a typical high rise city sat on the coast - great for shopping. This area is home to the world famous Ringling Circus Museum with a superb art gallery and Italianate style mansion, the home of the Ringlings.
Bradenton / Anna Maria Island area
If you tire of watching Dolphins and Manatees in the Bay, you can see them close up in person at the Mote Sealife sanctuary; this can be described as an aquatic zoo that carries out research/ education projects and is a great day out for all the family. Other places include - Busch Gardens, Sarasota City shopping malls, the Ringling Museum, Fishing, Jet Skiing, Boat Hire, Shell Collecting, Turtle watching, Fide Dining and Golf. The Anna Maria area is a hive of activity but with a take it easy attitude.
