Girlfriend Getaways - Top Picks for Places to Eat

For a girls getaway, I recommend from the restaurants below....breakfast at the Rod & Reel Pier for a fun "on the water" experience. Then coffee and a sandwich or quiche at Ginny's & Jane E's where you can also shop for antiques and gifts! Watching the sunset and dinner at the casual Sand Bar or award-winning Beach Bistro is a great way to end the day.

Fine Dining - Anna Maria Style.....
for a Romantic Weekend Getaway

• Ooh La La - Cuisine with an international flair, great desserts.
