Bean Point Beach is a highly-regarded, secluded natural gem located at the northernmost tip of Anna Maria Island, Florida, within the city limits of Anna Maria (not Holmes Beach, though it's easily accessible from there). This pristine stretch of coastline is celebrated for its powder-soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and an uncrowded, serene atmosphere. Unlike busier public beaches, Bean Point offers minimal amenities, encouraging a more rustic experience where visitors can enjoy peaceful sunbathing, swimming, and exceptional shelling, especially at low tide when a sandbar often emerges. It's also a prime location for breathtaking sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico, with glimpses of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in the distance. Due to its residential setting, parking can be limited, so many visitors opt to walk, bike, or use the free island trolley to reach this tranquil escape.
