Editor's take
4.8/5 from 106 reviews plus repeated praise for beauty, peace, and sunsets makes it a top Anna Maria Island beach despite limited amenities.
What visitors say
Visitors rave about how beautiful and peaceful it feels, especially for sunsets and white sand; they mainly warn that there are no restrooms and swimming isn’t safe.
Bean Point / Bowman’s Beach is a quieter public stretch at Anna Maria Island’s northern tip where the Gulf meets Tampa Bay. Expect white, soft sand and standout sunset views, with limited on-site amenities (visitors note no restrooms).
