When you come visit Holmes Beach or any other spot on Anna Maria Island, you need to plan for a full week of eating out. We at Hurricane Hanks are proud to be a part of the Holmes Beach restaurant community.
When you’re enjoying a week-long retreat at one of the Holmes Beach resorts, it’s only natural to want to explore the local dining scene. While resort restaurants have their charm, appear and convenience, you’ll exhaust most of your on-resort dining options pretty early in your trip. You see, most of the resorts on the island, with the exception of a few, do not offer a huge variety of on-resort restaurants.
That’s where Hurricane Hanks steps in. Situated conveniently close to various Holmes Beach resorts, our restaurant offers the ideal locale for resort guests to enjoy a night out while savoring authentic local cuisine. You’ll find when you come see us for lunch or dinner that the true flavors of a destination are found beyond the boundaries of the resort itself.
We’re a Casual Restaurant near the Waterline Marina Resort & Beach Club

We’re right near The Waterline Marina resort, a popular luxury resort in Holmes Beach. While The Waterline does have great dining on their property, you’ll want to explore more options for a night or afternoon out.
We’re also right near the Anna Maria Beach Resort

While you may have chosen the Anna Maria Island Beach Resort so you could have your own kitchen or kitchenette during your stay on the island, you’ll still going to want to get out of the resort and enjoy yourself! It’s vacation – you shouldn’t be cooking for yourself or your family.
Hurricane Hanks is also convenient to the smaller, more intimate resorts and hotels around Holmes Beach, including Bali Hai Beach Resort, Palm Tree Villas, the Mainsail Beach Inn, Bungalow Beach Resort, The Anna Maria Island Inn, Zota Beach Resort, the Compass Hotel, the Tropical Breeze Beach Club and more.
