A quiet place in Florida...

A sleepy, little coastal town in the off season and a bustling tourist spot in the spring and summertime. Always beautiful.

This wonderful community has its own Environmental Enhancement and Education Committee through the City of Anna Maria Island to protect the natural environment. Amazing!

I recently visited the area and was pleasantly pleased to see many native plants and pristine beaches. The streets were clean and the trees abundant. It was absolutely beautiful.

It turns out, this city really cares about where they live and it shows. Some of the projects the E.E.E.C. has accomplished and is still involved in...

Adopt-a-Beach Access project

Assists the city to meet the Green Local Government Certification

Established Anna Maria Island as a Tree City USA

Uses native plants to enhance and sustain the environment

THIS CITY IS BEAUTIFUL

Some of the photos I took while there:

The Sparkling Shoreline

A Boy Catching Bait Fish

Abundant Wildlife at the Seashore

I think a lot of Florida cities could take a queue from this quaint, coastal town. It’s a place where the people appreciate what they have and know that working with the wildlife and natural surroundings benefits all involved.
