Outdoor Fitness Options on Anna Maria Island
Not ready to head indoors just yet? No problem. For those who prefer to work out in the fresh air, Anna Maria Island offers plenty of outdoor fitness options that allow you to stay active while enjoying the island's natural beauty.
- Walking and running on the beach is a fabulous way to get in some cardio while soaking in the swoon-worthy Gulf views along your route. Coquina Beach and Bean Point are great options for this.
- For a full-body workout, try paddleboarding or kayaking. The balance on the paddleboard requires muscles you probably didn't even know you had! And the kayak is an upper-body powerhouse, for obvious reasons. Try Leffis Key Preserve to get out onto the water for some fitness.
- AMI is a bike-friendly island with wide pathways and designated bike lanes. Popular routes are the Coquina Beach Bike Path and along the length of Pine Ave or Gulf Dr.
