Bean point is located in Anna Maria City where the Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico meet. The main beach entrance is found at the crossroads of North Bay Blvd and North Shore drive. Parking for sure can be a challenge so if you can bicycle ride up to the beach access that would be best. The City has several spots where you can lock up your bicycle if you are looking to spend a good portion of the day on the beach. The beach access is beautiful as it takes you over a wooden footbridge and the path is through some wonderful Florida native vegetation. Be careful if you drive up to Bean Point as parking can be challenging and there are a great deal of guidelines when parking in Anna Maria City to avoid receiving a parking ticket.
