Review:

Bean Point preserves the former homestead of Anna Maria Island founder George Emerson Bean, who chose the site to building his 160-acre estate in 1892. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Bean was responsible for crafting many of the city's homes, businesses, and streets and is known as the founder of its water system. For many years, the point has been known as one of the island's most beautiful, scenic, and secluded private beachfront areas. You can explore the beachfront area's beautiful scenery, which offers an alternative to more crowded public beachfront areas on the island. Nature photographers and wildlife watchers can enjoy opportunities to spot interesting native wildlife from the point, including marine line. Visitors should note that no parking lot facilities are offered at the point, though limited street parking is offered nearby on Jacaranda Road and Fern Street.
