cruisinonmymind Posted July 18, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Which is the best beach for just a day at the beach to swim/play in the waves, look for shells and that kind of stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadjr Posted July 18, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2004 There really isnt a good beach in Tampa. The only major beach is on the Causeway. Its ok, but nothing spectacular, just sand and water and its on the bay, not the gulf. Most of Tampas waterfront is developed or hard to get to. To get a good beach, you have to go across the bay to the Pinellas side of the area. http://www.floridasbeach.com/bch_nat/topbeaches.aspx is a good site that lists 3 of the top beaches in Pinellas. Ft DeSoto has great beaches, walking/biking trails and the fort. I havent been to Caledisi. Clearwater has a good beach and lots of shops and restaurants. If you want to go just to go to the beach and be alone, I would say Ft Desoto is the best choice. About 30 mins down the Interstate from the airport/Westshore area.

budcin Posted July 20, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2004 When Mom lived in Florida we would go to the beach somewhere only the locals new about. Very nice and clean! I know it was over by Tampa but have no idea were it was!!! Have fun on your cruise!! Get back soon cause as soon as you get back we get to go!
