Ben T. Davis Beach
Courtney Campbell Causeway, Tampa|Free
Sitting on the Courtney Campbell Causeway, Ben T. Davis is where Tampa goes for a quick swim, a picnic, or a causeway sunset without driving to the Gulf. It has free parking, restrooms, picnic shelters, and direct access to the 9.5-mile Courtney Campbell Trail for biking and jogging over the bay.
Why our team sends guests here
The water is calm bay water rather than Gulf surf, but for a 15-minute-from-downtown sunset with a food truck or two, nothing beats it.
