Bean Point is the narrow, sandy northern tip of Anna Maria Island offering sweeping Gulf vistas, low dunes, tidal sandbars and classic Florida palms — ideal for dramatic sunsets, long-exposure surf shots and intimate shelling foregrounds. Best at golden hour and sunset; low tide reveals sandbars and reflections. Small public lot and short beach walk; no fee but limited parking—visit weekdays or early evening to avoid crowds.
