There are many airports within a 3 to 4 hour radius of Manatee County and Anna Maria Island; however the two typically used are Tampa International and Sarasota-Bradenton International.
To get from the airport to Anna Maria Island we reccommend a company that you can schedule ahead of time to be picked up after you land. Below is the information to schedule.
Depending on where you stay on the island, North, Central, or South, a vehicle is not absolutely necessary but recommended. There are several services that provide slow speed vehicles for rent like golf carts. Golf Cart Rentals are mentioned for choice below.
