Shopping near to Anna Marie

We are staying in Anna Marie this year and I would like to go shopping on the last day when we leave our villa. Can anyone tell me:
Where is the nearest outlet to Anna Marie Island and is it cheaper that the Orlando ones. Thanks

The nearest outlets are the Ellenton Outlets which I think are about 17 miles from Anna Maria Island. Well worth a visit and much quieter than the Orlando ones though not sure if they are any cheaper.

Well worth a visit and we always head down there for a day out. We normally try to arrive for opening time as they are pretty quiet.

Another vote for Ellenton Outlets there are also Bealls and Bealls outlets close by as well as a few Ross and Marshalls. About 10 miles to the East is the rather lovely Mall at University Town Center see mallatutc/ with amongst other things a Cheesecake factor and a Tesla Showroom Oh and if you want something a little different try fullbellystuffedburgers/w...Belly_Menu.pdf there are also a few Amish restaurants . Bowling on Cortez is or was 2 bucks on Tues Night and depending on what your into facebook/bullseyeindoorpistolrange/ I'm not a gun person but must admit we did enjoy a session there.

Ellenton is the closest to Anna Maria but in our experience although busier the Premium Outlets Vineland are hard to beat for bargains overall. We love to shop but you don't want to spend the whole time in there. Get all the shopping in Orlando then rest in Anna Maria.

Here is about 40 mins away, not an outlet mall but a brilliant mall in Sarasota

Another vote for Ellenton Mall. The Micheal Kors shop is the best I have found for bargains.

This year we have found better bargains in Ellenton than in the Orlando outlets or Miromar. 😊
