This disclosure relates generally to Bluetooth beacons and more particularly to methods and system for locating nearest Bluetooth beacons. In one embodiment, a method for locating a nearest Bluetooth beacon within a plurality of Bluetooth beacons is disclosed. The method includes identifying a latest highest Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value Bluetooth beacon associated with a highest RSSI value from within a set of latest scanned Bluetooth beacons. The method further includes computing at least one average RSSI value for a predefined number of RSSI value detections associated with at least one Bluetooth beacon within a latest and previous set of scanned Bluetooth beacons. Thereafter, the method includes identifying a highest average RSSI value Bluetooth beacon from within the latest and previous set of scanned Bluetooth beacons. Finally, the method includes selecting the nearest Bluetooth beacon, from the set of latest scanned Bluetooth beacons and the previous set of scanned Bluetooth beacons, based on the identifying of the latest highest RSSI value Bluetooth beacon and the identifying of the highest average RSSI value Bluetooth beacon.
