I’m heading to Anna Maria Island in a week for the first time and I’ve heard a rumor that there is a flesh eating bacteria in the water. Apparently you shouldn’t go in the water if you have open wounds and raw shellfish should be avoided. Is this true?

I know some people will think it’s all the same, but those of us who know.. know. So what is everyone’s opinion on the best key lime pie on the island?

Hello! We have booked a trip to AMI for the Labor Day weekend. Our dog is recovering from surgery and is likely allowed to walk for 10 minutes a time during that time so we had to bring her with us. We are Florida locals and have been to AMI plenty of times and it’s not the place I would bring my dog to ideally. But unexpected events happen and we would still want to make the best out of it. With all that said, do you have recommendations on how to enjoy AMI with a dog? She is tiny (6 lb) so we will be bringing a stroller for her. Would love to hear about places to go to, activities we can do, and opportunities for my dog to wade in the water.
