History Of Bean Point

Bean Point is not only a magnificent beach, but it also has a huge historical background as well. The founder of the island, George Emerson Bean, claimed Bean Point for his 160-acre homestead in 1892. He died in 1898 but left it to his son to plan out building the city of Anna Maria. Bean’s son partnered with Charles Roser, who just so happened to be a wealthy real estate developer. Together they built the streets, sewer system, homes, schools, and so much more. Little did they know they would create an environment that would later be a hotspot for tourists from all over the world. They never expected that one day Bean Point would be a prime location for some of the best Bean Point vacation rentals.
