Eager eyes roam the sun-soaked hidden corners and shops of Anna Maria Island during self-guided spins or guided tours from Segs by the Sea. After selecting speedy i2 Segways by matching the number of wheels to the number of riders’ feet, tour guides lead brief training sessions on the self-balancing biwheeled chariots. Each helmeted glider sips on a complimentary bottle of water as they cruise off the beaten path to various places on the island, including Coquina Beach and Bridge Street. Along the tour, riders keep their eyes peeled and peering at the beauty of the cerulean Gulf waters, the architectural grandeur of the island’s vacation homes, and hilarious manatee haircuts. Training is also provided to segway renters, who may leisurely explore Anna Maria Island’s golden shorelines without having to step on hot sand or steal a teenager’s roller skates.
