Bayshore: Bayshore - where Tampa goes to walk
  • Tip Rating:
  • Where the locals go for a good walk. This 10-foot-wide sidewalk is 4.5 mile long along the bay and is where the locals go to walk and roller blade. A long this walk you will see stunning views of the bay and some of the most amazing homes in the south.

    If you are biking there is an additional 3-mile, on-road bike lane that extends the north-bound lane of Bayshore Boulevard between Rome Avenue and Gandy Boulevard.

    Trail amenities include benches, a water fountain, bicycle parking, a city marina and fitness stations.

    When you are there be sure to head up Howard Avenue for some of the best places in Tampa to eat and/or down to Hyde Park historic district for a nice look at old Tampa and for some quaint stores.

    Bayshore: Take a stroll
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bayshore Boulevard is nice. It's about 5 miles of continous sidewalk. Great for biking,roller blading, walking or jogging. There are a few places to park across the street. Please be careful when crossing as it is a busy street! My husband and I love riding our bikes there.

    Rollerblading on Bayshore

    One of my favorite parts of town has always been the Bayshore area. Along Bayshore Blvd. is a long sidewalk where people run, walk, rollerblade, bike, etc. On the opposite side of the street are million dollar homes and tucked behind these homes are the historic homes of Hyde Park. It's beautiful and unless the bay is stinky (sometimes it does smell) then it's a great place to burn some calories.

  • Directions: Bayshore Blvd begins (take Platt St. east and turn Right on Bayshore) downtown and ends near MacDill Airforce base. The actual long side walk ends just about at Gandy Blvd.

    Bayshore: go for a run or rollerblade on...
  • Tip Rating:
  • go for a run or rollerblade on bayshore boulevard and onto Davis Island.
    bayshore boulevard was my favorite running spot in tampa. I spent three years on the UT cross country team and did quite a bit of running here. Bayshore is also part of the Gasparilla Distance classic 15K route.

    Bayshore: Walking/Jogging/Driving down Bayshore
    Bayshore is considered the poshest street in Tampa. It is dotted with multi-million dollar homes that face the open bay. The sidewalk that runs along the opposite side was once (when I was a little girl) the longest stretch of uninterrupted sidewalk in the world. All sorts of athletic people walk, jog, rollerblade, run up and down that sidewalk during the day.

    If you're athletically inclined, jogging down bayshore will provide you with plenty of room and spectacular views.
