From there, the flight sweeps over Bird Key, St. Armands Circle, and the pristine shoreline of Lido Key before continuing north along the turquoise coastline of Longboat Key. As the beaches stretch out beneath you, the scenery transitions into the charming waterfront of Anna Maria Island, known for its sugar-white sand and vibrant blue water.
