Whether you are staying in one of our 140+ Anna Maria vacation rentals or you’re one of our island neighbors, we want you to have a wonderful, safe beach experience.  The last thing you want is an emergency spoiling your fun.  Here are some tips:

• Obey the rules, flags, and lifeguard instructions.  Beach warning flags notifying swimmers of current water conditions can be found at the lifeguard stations at Anna Maria Island beaches.
• Learn how to swim in the surf as it is not the same a pool or calm lake
• Learn about rip currents before entering the water
• If caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore until free from the current
• Swim near a lifeguard
• Swim with a buddy
• Don’t swim within 100 feet of piers or jetties
• Don’t rely solely on flotation devices
• Keep kids within your reach especially in the water
• Don’t dive into the water
• Alcohol and water activities don’t mix
• Don’t exhaust yourself – Take frequent breaks
• Call or wave for help if in trouble
• Don’t bring glass containers to the beach
• Don’t feed the birds
• For stranded or injured wildlife, call for help and don’t touch
• Don’t become a lobster, use sunscreen reapplying it throughout the day
