Coquina Beach
Coquina Beach is the longest stretch of beach on the southern end of Anna Maria Island on the Gulf of Mexico. This beach is a fantastic spot to spend the day with family and friends with its relaxing atmosphere, calm waters and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the day.
Coquina Beach offers plentiful parking, picnic tables, grills, restrooms, showers as well as a playground for the kids. Lifeguards are on duty at Coquina Beach, making it a safe place to swim, snorkel and discover loads of seashells and sand dollars. The park's southern most end borders New Pass inlet which runs from the Gulf of Mexico into the Intracoastal Waterway and is a great spot to try your lick at shore fishing. If you get too hot, cool off under the shady Australian pine trees.
A boat launch is located just across the street from the beach on the Intracoastal Waterway side.
