Editor's Notes
A strip of sandy Old Tampa Bay shoreline along Gandy Boulevard on the St. Petersburg side of the Gandy Bridge. It is state road right-of-way, not a city park: Florida's transportation department maintains it and lined it with wooden bollards in 2022 to keep cars out of the mangroves.
