Picnic Island Park by DonnaFL
On a point of land jutting into Tampa Bay is this City of Tampa park. It has picnic shelters, boat launch, fishing pier, restrooms and swimming is allowed, although there are better places to swim in the greater Tampa Bay area than this park. The beach area at low tide exhibits various tidal flat inhabitants including fiddler crabs, sand dollars and various bi-valves such as clams. To get to Picnic Island Park take either Bayshore Blvd or Dale Mabry Hwy south to Interbay Blvd. Follow Interbay Blvd. to the end and watch for signs for the park. You will be driving through an indrustrial area as you near the park.
