Bean Point Beach Access

Bean Point is what the rest of Anna Maria was before the towels arrived: no lifeguards, no restrooms, no parking lot — just the quiet tip of the island where founder George Bean staked his 160-acre homestead in 1892. You reach it on foot from two street-end paths, and at low tide a sandbar opens up for shelling.

Sunset — locals count it among the island's best viewing spots.

At low tide, wade out to the sandbar for some of the island's best shelling.
