Fred Howard Park
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon for cooler air, calmer water, and the best light for photos. Mid-November through April brings lower humidity and breezier conditions for walking and kitesurfing.
Budget tips
Small Pinellas County parking fee usually applies per vehicle, while walk-ins and bicyclists often pay less; annual county beach passes are accepted. Pack lunch and refillable water to avoid concession costs.

About
快速信息: A powdery white sand spit stretches about half a mile into shallow, waist-deep water, turning long walks into easy wading adventures. Warm breezes carry the salt-and-seaweed smell, while frequent dolphin sightings and easy shelling keep weekend crowds happy without feeling crowded.
亮点: A half-mile sandbar becomes a shallow playground at low tide, where kids scoop up tiny blue hermit crabs and families find clusters of orange scallop shells. Photographers stake out the shoreline during golden hour to capture pelicans flying in formations of about 10 to 20, the sky turning tangerine and pink behind their dark silhouettes.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy water shoes for shelling and occasional rocky shoreline.
- Head to the western boardwalk and the small fishing pier at sunset for the best photos.
- Arrive on weekday mornings or just before sunset to avoid weekend crowds and limited parking.
- Bring insect repellent in warmer months and a pop-up shade if planning a picnic.
