AMI South End
What makes the AMI south end special
The south end packs a lot into a small footprint. Bridge Street is the lively pedestrian hub with seafood, cocktails, boutiques, and sunset views from the pier, while Coquina Beach offers wide sands and sea grape shade just down Gulf Drive. Because the island is narrow here, the Gulf beach and the bayfront are only a couple of blocks apart, and the free island trolley runs the length of Gulf Drive so you can leave the car parked.
