If you need to connect to the beacon, I would recommend you to take a look at one of the examples in the SDK, and start developing based on one of those examples.

Beacons are broadcasters only, advertising non-connectable advertising packets.

Can I ask why you want to connect to a beacon?

It is possible to make the beacon switch to connectable mode by for example make it change mode upon a button push..

An eddystone device is a beacon that is broadcaster only, and it is not possible to establish any connection with it. As you can see in the eddystone example in the SDK, the eddystone beacon advertises non-connectable advertising packets, see the function advertising_init(..).
