Our Favorite Beach Shops on Anna Maria Island

Our Favourite Beach Shops — Anna Maria Island, Florida
Anna Maria Island has it all — beautiful beaches, amazing food, plenty of old Florida charm as well as many unique beach shops. As you enjoy the paradise of Anna Maria Island, your days at the beach and shopping if you choose to fit it in, here is a list of our favourite beach shops —
Alvin’s Island — 3658 E Bay Drive, Holmes Beach, FL
A great place, Alvin’s is so much more than a tourist beach gift shop. Surf shop, beach accessories, souvenirs and anything you need for your vacation at the beach.
They are always friendly even if they get busy and we shop here often!
They have a huge selection of souvenirs and clothes with a great selection of reasonably priced swimsuits. Their merchandise is good quality and prices are good whether you’re shopping the sale racks or not. Anna Maria Island logo’s hats, tees, shot glasses… you name it they have it.
Bridge Street Interiors — 100 Bridge Street, Bradenton Beach, FL
Don’t let the name fool you, once inside you will be pleasantly surprised with their merchandise. This is a really fun and relaxing place to shop. The owners are amazing and the products they sell are truly wonderful.
They have lots of cute costume jewelry, home decorations, scents, candles & tropical apparel. In the back they do have interior design services and can help you with your decorating needs. There are so many unique things in this store that it might just be my favourite on Anna Maria Island.

Green Turtle Shell & Gift Shop — 701 Gulf Drive North, Bradenton Beach, FL
The fun gifts and souvenirs you’ll want to bring home from the island are waiting here! From a large variety of shells to funky beach accessories they have it all. There is also a selection of jewelry, home decor, T-shirts and all the beach goodies you will want.
The Green Turtle Shop is only a few minute walk from Anna Maria Island Condo Rentals and trust me your kids will love it. Our adult children still talk about their fond memories of many visits to the “Turtle Shop” and are now experiencing the same with their children.
Island Bazaar, East Bay Drive, Holmes Beach, Florida
Bridge Street Bazaar – Bridge Street, Bradenton Beach, Florida
Island Bazaar offers two shops on Anna Maria Island. These two stores are popular beach tourist shops, one located in Holmes Beach and one in Bradenton Beach. My personal preference is the Holmes Beach location, which is the larger of the two. It has a large selection of beach wear including swimsuits, sun hats, and shoes. Both offer an array of clothing, hats, towels and all the beach souvenirs you could ask for. Lots of toys and trinkets that kids love looking through.
Sand Dollar Gift Shop — 5302 Marina Drive, Holmes Beach, FL
The Sand Dollar Gift Shop is a unique boutique in Holmes Beach with a different feel than other shops on Anna Maria Island. They have a limited selection of stylish beachy clothes and jewelry. You will find lots of candles, soaps and home decor. This is a great shop to find unique gifts and keepsakes. Browsing in this little boutique is always enjoyable.
Sun & Surf Beach — 5418 Marina Drive, Holmes Beach, Florida
Before you enter the store you will be greeted by about a dozen resident parrots. Everyday the friendly staff of this surf shop pull the parrot cages outside of the shaded store front to greet their guests. These entertaining parrots, each individually named, are a hit with adults and children alike. Once inside you can expect a fun tropical shopping experience with a nice selection of beach attire. The shop has lots of beach themed T-shirts, cover-ups and swim wear too. And, sometimes you’ll find furniture and other knick-knacks. There is a small play area for kids while you shop—such a great idea to help keep kids occupied. But, if they get bored you can take them back outside for another visit with the talking parrots.
West Coast Surf Shop — 3902 Gulf Drive North, Holmes Beach, Florida
This is the oldest surf shop on Florida’s west coast and sells items relevant to having fun on the beach and in the water. They have a large selection of swimwear, sportswear, surfboards, skimboards, skateboards, accessories, sunglasses, sandals and more.
