Bean Point Beach, Anna Maria Island, Florida

Bean Point Beach is located on the north end of Anna Maria Island and is one of our favorite beaches.

The beach curves around from facing the Gulf of Mexico to facing Tampa Bay.

This beach has soft sand and crystal clear water.

The parking is free, but limited because it is in a residential neighborhood.

When you park, you need to look at the signs indicating where you can park and where you cannot.

The beach path was located between two houses on North Shore Dr and Gladiolus St.

We took this path over to the beach.

As you step out onto Bean Point Beach, the sand is really white and super soft.

We found a spot to lay out our beach towels and then we explored the beach.

You can see where Bean Point Beach bends from the Gulf of Mexico to the Tampa Bay

Another perk of this beach is that it is really wide so there was plenty of space for me to fly my drone without bothering anyone around me.

We couldn't get enough of the turquoise water and white sand!

Overall, we loved this beach and can't wait to go back again.
