Bay Palms is centrally located in Holmes Beach on the barrier island of Anna Maria, Florida. Holmes Beach is one of the 3 cities on this 7 mile long island. There's shopping, dining, the beach and bars. It's a flip flop wearing kind of place. Residents of Bay Palms enjoy a short walk to the white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. The free island trolley is also readily available and that's how many of us get around on this very cool island. There's easy access to boating, fishing and water sports.
