18. Just how close is the beach? A beach access point at the end of N. Bay Blvd. (one street over) takes you over a wooden walkway right to the beach on the bay side of Bean Point. About a 5 minute walk. There is another beach access point at the north end of Gladiolus St (one block) that leads to Bean Point. The best swimming beach is on the Gulf side of Bean Point. In recent years there has been an accretion of sand at the point, so it's another short walk from the end of the path down to the water. All in all, about 8 minutes.
