About

The Bumblebee Beach is a welcome surprise to locals walking down the street, or to the most ardent urban adventurer seeking hidden artworks. Very little is known about the mural, who created it, and why. However, there may not be much more to know other than it brought someone joy to create and joy to those who have ventured out to view Bumblebee Beach.
