Gulf Drive Cafe Seafood Restaurant ·$$

Gulf Drive Café has been a part of Anna Maria Island's unique history for over thirty years. It sits directly on the spectacular sugar white sands and turquoise-emerald views of the Gulf of Mexico on Anna Maria Island's south end. A tropical family-friendly eatery that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, the Café was named one of the "Best Breakfasts in Florida" by Southern Living Magazine. Our newly renovated restaurant, bar and event space covers 450 square feet of waterfront. Offering fresh Florida seafood, cocktails and other specialties, guests of this island hot spot relish the shimmering Gulf and multi-colored sunset backdrop.
