Great walk to see the views of the waterfront of Tampa.
It is similar to waterfront views of other cities. If your already in the area, it is worth spending some time to just enjoy the fresh air and water views.
The area was busy and everyone was having a nice stroll out. Nice place to spend some time, to enjoy the sunny weather and just have a relaxed afternoon.

Maybe by car, walking or running this is a beautiful boulevard to take. I regularly take this route, even a longer way to my destination because of its beauty. Unfortunately no place to park unless you drive into a side street and are lucky to find a place to park.

Definitely go see this during the Chrismas season. You have to creep along, because everyone is there to see the Christmas lights on the houses, but the view is beautiful.

It is a wonderful walk along Tampa Bay. A very long strip along the waterfront where the view is the magnificent bay, downtown Tampa and beautiful Bayshore Boulevard with palatial homes. This is the way to really see Tampa.

With 4.5 miles of unbroken waterfront sidewalk, Bayshore is the best place in Tampa to be active for walkers, cyclists, runners and inline skaters.
The view of the bay is always nice but look over the balustrade and on a good day you’ll see dolphins swimming right beside you! Evening thunderstorms out on the bay also make perfect Bayshore vistas.
TIP: The northern part of Bayshore can get a bit busy some weekday evenings between 6pm and 8pm as local running clubs turn out to use it.

I ran 4-5 miles a day on Bayshore while visiting Tampa, and I saw a dolphin one day! It was very cool. Keep your eyes out on the bay while you're exploring!

Beautiful place for bike riding, walking or running. Incredibly safe even at night. Cross over the Platt Street bridge and check out the Riverwalk while you're here. Bike rentals are now available near the convention center.

My husband and I walked on the boulevard from 10 am until 11:50 am and had a very enjoyable time, as bikers, runners, skaters, and walkers passed us. It was a weekday, so not as crowded as the week-end. It was a sunny day and there was a breeze coming across the bay. There is a nice view on both sides, with water on one side and majestic homes and high-rises on the other. There are a few benches to sit on, but there isn't shade on the water side.We parked on the street on Lawn Avenue, which is near the south end of the boulevard. There is not a charge to park, but probably fills up on the week-end.

Some one had said to me that this is a nice walk, well that's a bit of an under estimation, to see the runners, skaters and other walkers out was good but the scenery and feeling of peace on an early morning walk was just a tonic and I would recommend it to everyone.

I lived one block of Baysore in the late 70's and used to remember the terrible stench at low tide as well all the debris and garbage that was exposed as the tide went out. That bay was essentially dead. The transformation over the years has been tremendous and it has become a hub of activity with walkers, joggers, roller bladers, and cyclists. What a resource and attraction it has become! This could become even better if a narrow shoreline with mangroves were constructed to promote some natural wave action and continued flushing of the bay bottom. It would restore this bay to its true natural beauty when it was a beacon to fish, birds, manatee, and dolphins.

It's about 4.5 miles one way. You don't have to go all the way for good views

I live outside of Tampa and haven't stayed at the Sheraton but I do have a couple of recommendations outside of Tampa prop3r the Grand Hyatt at Rocky Point its very convenient to Tampa and the airport. If you'd like to stay on the beach there's a brand new Wyndham which is lovely on Clearwater beach.
I don't know their availability but I've stayed the Hyatt and friends have stayed at the Wyndham.

Consider Hilton, Marriott or Westin. This last one is waterfront. The Embassy suite is just in front. If want a different experience but more expensive get the Epicurium just in the Hyde park area at Howard st south
