Tourist Guide

The day comes to a close over the Gulf of Mexico. Bean Point Beach is at the Northwest end of Anna Maria Island. A nice wide beach with fine white sand. A little more secluded than some of the other beaches nearby.

Lovely location for a family holiday. Just over an hour drive from Tampa. Not a lot of local attractions, other than the fantastic beach and warm sea, but boat trips, dolphin spotting etc. all great.
