Fourth of July Sandbar Celebration

One of the most iconic Independence Day traditions on Anna Maria Island happens on the water, as boaters gather at the popular sandbars off the island to celebrate the Fourth of July. Families anchor in the shallow, clear water, wade on the exposed sand, share food, and enjoy the holiday in a uniquely coastal way before the evening fireworks begin over the Gulf. If you do not have a boat, local charters and rentals can get you out to the action, or you can enjoy the same festive spirit from the beach. Always boat responsibly and watch the weather. From The Sandbox Beach House in Holmes Beach you are close to marinas and beaches, making it easy to build a full Fourth of July around the water and return to your private pool and pet friendly home to close out the day.
