Editor's Itinerary: Tampa Bay for People Interested in History
"Although it lies just fifteen minutes’ drive from the center, Sand Key Park feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Clearwater. Made up of both a park and beach, its scenery and sun-kissed sands coat the northern end of the barrier island of the same name. Besides lounging on its white sand beach, visitors can swim and surf in the sea, go kayaking or enjoy phenomenal views over the glimmering Gulf of Mexico."
"Located on the northern tip of the Sand Key barrier island, the small park is a favorite getaway from the city. Sand Key Park is one of the best places to go in Clearwater for relaxation. The family-friendly Sand Key Park is fringed by white-sand beaches, featuring cute beach cabanas to escape the sun."
"Moccasin Lake Nature Park can be found just fifteen minutes’ drive to the east of the city center. As well as ponds and creeks, it encompasses verdant forests and a flood plain with hiking trails and a boardwalk weaving their way amidst them. A very picturesque place, the park is named for the large lake that lies in its southwest corner."
"Located on the north and south sides of Tampa Bay, the Skyway Fishing Pier State Park is based on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge that connects St. Petersburg with Sarasota and provides an excellent fishing venue. While the piers of the bridge are extremely high above the water, accessible areas around the pier offer excellent fishing, and you can find both shallow flats and deep-water channels. Fish species that can be found here include redfish and spotted sea trout throughout the year while the warmer months bring migratory fish such as cobia, tarpon, Spanish mackerel, and kingfish."
"Grab your rod & reel and plonk down at Skyway Fishing Pier State Park. Reaching state park status in 1994, the pier extends four miles into Tampa Bay. Skyway Fishing Pier State Park runs parallel to the massive Sunshine Skyway Bridge."
