The north half of Anna Maria Island benefitted from Tropical Storm Isaac, which re-distributed sand on its beaches as it passed last month, a county official said Tuesday. One of the areas showing the biggest gain is a stretch of beach near the Sandbar Restaurant at the City of Anna Maria, shown here. The southern end of the island, however, including Coquina Beach, lost sand. PAUL VIDELA/Bradenton Herald PVIDELA@BRADENTON.COM Buy Photo
