We found the beach littered with shells and even a few starfish. Like everywhere else near water in this part of Florida, we saw plenty of birds.
We were even lucky enough to run into some kite surfers at the far end of the park with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in the background.
It was mostly cloudy but the sun got through just enough to make the drive worthwhile.
Our visit included dinner on the balcony of the Brass Monkey Bar and Grill.
After a visit to the Chihuly Collection, which technically is in the Waterfront Museum District, we started walking in the direction of The Edge District.
