Ben T Davis Beach

Ben T Davis Beach A Family Beach Near The Tampa International Airport

This beach is located on the southeastern side of the Courtney Campbell Causeway between the Tampa International Airport and Clearwater Beach. This is not a dog beach but there is beach volleyball, picnic shelters, and a white sand beach. The Beach on Davis Islands in South Tampa FL has an adjacent dog park and dog beach. Also a great starting location for the Courtney Campbell Trail.

You will also find more than ample parking and two adjacent and nearby restaurants. Considering it is close to the downtown Tampa area it certainly has some natural beauty to take in as well. We consider this one of the kid friendly beaches. There is a great boat ramp just a couple of miles to the west.

Family Friendly Beaches In The Tampa Bay Area Pinellas County

Clearwater and Clearwater Beach combine to make a great beach town. Clearwater Beach is a barrier island and has much more than just amazing white sandy beaches with those turquoise waters from the Gulf Coast caressing them. The beach has a nightly sunset celebration by Pier 60 which has to be seen.

St Pete Beach AKA St Petersburg Beach Pristine Beaches & Palm Trees

Saint Pete's beach is thought to be one of the more family friendly beaches in the Tampa Bay area. It is certainly one of the more beautiful beaches and St Petersburg Beach has some amazing and well established hotels. This beach would be more popular if it were closer to the downtown area of St Petersburg FL as it is to far from Tampa Florida and it's beach town is inferior to that of Clearwater Beach. Other popular beaches between Clearwater Beach and here include the following.

• Bellaire Beach

• Indian Rocks Beach

• Redington Beach

• Madeira Beach

• Treasure Island

Honeymoon Island State Park & Caladesi Island State Park

Honeymoon Island State Park and Caladesi Island State Park are minutes away from Clearwater Beach to the north in Dunedin ( Doo-Nee-Din) Florida. This is where you go in Tampa Bay to find white sand beaches, sea turtles, a private nature trail and basically a beautiful nature preserve. The powdery white sand here makes for a fantastic destination just like the other beaches to the south.

Apollo Beach Nature Preserve

I would only visit this area if I was time restricted and on the east side of Tampa Bay. There is a white sand beach on the northern end of the wildlife refuge-preserve but this is more of a hassle than it is worth. From the beach you get a great view of a large factory. Better choices include...

• Archibald Beach Park

• Sunset Beach

• Fort De Soto Beach & Fort De Soto Park

• Madeira Beach (amazing annual seafood festival)

• Pass A Grille Beach

• Key Island
