WATER & COAST
Bean Point Beach
Manatee County · Gulf Coast
The northern tip of Anna Maria Island, at 793 North Shore Drive, where the Gulf meets Tampa Bay, with a view across the water to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Soft white sand and many birds. There are no facilities, no restaurants, no lifeguards and no parking lot, only a little parking on the street. Swimming is not recommended: the currents and rip tides here are strong.
