Davis Islands Beach

10Best Says

One of the Tampa Bay beaches closer to downtown, Davis Island sees a lot of traffic from local anglers, picnickers and beachcombers. The park itself is slightly over one acre, and although it's best known for being dog friendly, the isolated strand of beach is ideal for sunning and lounging, too. It's a popular anchor spot for sport fishermen so swimming is trickier here, but there's plenty of sightseeing to be done throughout the island.
