For years we always have asked ourselves what is that white sand park north of the Howard Franklin Bridge on the Tampa north side? Cypress Point Park is a relatively undiscovered treasure with a beautiful beach which we finally went to see. The park includes about a mile of asphalt trails and a few off beat nature trails.

    Cypress Point Park offers visitors stunning sunsets, gorgeous white sandy beach walks, protected dunes, beach wildflowers, a wetland and wild seagrass protected area and fishing. Park amenities include a bus stop, ample parking, ADA accessibility, bicycle racks, benches, a boardwalk, a canoe launch and picnic pavilions. A couple of the pavilions have grills next to the shelters.

    Besides the pretty view of the W. Westshore Blvd area and the Howard Franklin & Coutney Cambell Bridges you see and hear the sounds of the landing airplanes landing at the nearby Tampa Intl Airport. Located at the end of W. Cypress St.

    Truly a very nice surprise to us and for you to experience. Pack a picnic lunch.
