The Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe serves sandwiches, tacos and salads on a sunny patio right next to a big slice of public beach, but it’s the restaurant’s unique all-you-can-eat pancakes that have made it an adored Holmes Beach institution. For just $6.99, from 8 to 11 a.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to noon on weekends, you can enjoy round after round of the café’s griddled wonders. They’ll deliver more than enough carbs to power you up for a day in the sun.
