AMI Beach Hut 9901 Gulf Drive, Anna Maria, FL 34216

"Great little jam packed store full of food items, Beach supplies, snacks, drinks of every description, newspapers long after Publix has run out, great ice cream in generous portions and a very friendly helpful staff who greet you lake a long lost friend as you walk through the door. On top of all that, reasonable prices. On Gulf Drive, right across Magnolia from Ginny’s and Jane E’s. Do business with real people!"

"Great little spot to grab a drink, souvenirs or ice cream. The ice cream is phenomenal with ~20 flavors available!"

"Excellent experience. Staff was super friendly. Ice cream was unbelievable. Had Key Lime Pie (my favorite), blueberry cheesecake, salted caramel and triple peanut butter. Unlike most beach ice cream shops the portions were plentiful and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back"

"The little store on AMI has just enough stuff for your last minute needs and reasonably priced. I ran out of half and half and was prepared for a larger spend but was shocked to find the price only $4.50 for a quart. Now the biggest surprise was the price of their local homemade ice cream! A family of 6 for ice cream was under $17!!! What?!? You read that right - so for $20 including tip 6 of us had a kiddie cone which was the size of a single anywhere else. Don’t miss this stop next time your on Anna Maria Island!"

"Did a quick stop here on Easter evening bc the kids wanted ice cream after walking on the pier. The gentleman serving the ice cream was very friendly. Sample-no problem! HUGE scoops. Ice Cream was homemade and delicious. We were not staying right in this area, but looked like a great store if you were to pick up something quick that you need. Drinks, eggs, beach wear, medicine, etc. I was so impressed of the great personality of the workers with a line out the door, on Easter, and 10 min til closing…happily serving his customers. I was surprised this was not listed anywhere as a hidden gem or best ice cream. And the review about wanting them to return a used beach blanket - come on. Thank you for not returning!!"
