A legendary Anna Maria Island institution at the north end of the island on the Gulf of Mexico, the Sandbar Restaurant has been one of the most beloved and most celebrated waterfront seafood restaurants on Florida’s Gulf Coast for decades — fresh local grouper, Gulf stone crab claws in season, and cold Florida craft beers with the extraordinary Anna Maria Island Gulf views that have made this small, fiercely authentic island one of the most sought-after and most genuinely community-protected beach destinations in all of Florida. The Sandbar’s sunsets are among the finest in the state.
