Life on the Island

Our Amenities

From our private marina on the bay to the heated pool and active social calendar, every day at Sandpiper Resort feels like a vacation.

On the Water

Sandpiper sits on nearly 10 acres between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

14-Slip Private Marina

State-of-the-art marina with expansive docks on the bay. Launch your kayak, dock your boat, or simply enjoy the waterfront views at sunrise.

Bay & Gulf Access

Steps from the Gulf of Mexico beaches to the west and the calm waters of Anna Maria Sound to the east. Kayak launches, fishing piers, and sandy shores at your doorstep.

Waterfront Fire Pit

Gather at the water's edge for evening bonfires with neighbors. Watch the sun set over the bay — one of the best sunset views on Anna Maria Island.
