Living in Holmes Beach
Holmes Beach sits in the middle of Anna Maria Island and is the largest of its three cities. It has the island’s grocery stores and most of its everyday shopping, along with wide Gulf beaches and quiet residential streets.
Holmes Beach is known for its canal neighborhoods, where many homes have a dock and boat lift with access to Anna Maria Sound, Tampa Bay and the Gulf. Manatee Public Beach is a local favorite for sunsets.
