Looking for a relaxing and scenic dolphin tour near Anna Maria Island?

Our Bean Point Dolphin Tours offer one of the most peaceful and beautiful dolphin watching experiences in Florida.

Located at the northern tip of Anna Maria Island, Bean Point is where the Gulf of Mexico meets Tampa Bay, creating calm tidal waters, sandy flats, and frequent dolphin sightings in a breathtaking natural setting.

This is the perfect tour for guests who want a calm, family-friendly dolphin experience with incredible views and sunsets.

Bean Point is one of the most unique dolphin viewing areas in the region because of its geography:

• Where Gulf waters meet Tampa Bay currents
