    Tampa Police Department use the western end of beach to set up speed zones. Obey speed limits when coming up to this area heading east on the Courtney Campbell Causeway.

    Parking payment is easy & cheap. Also is not enforced very much but like I said, its cheap so just pay the little price to be safe.

    If gates are closed just park at the light entrance and stay near your vehicle.

    If the left turn arrow (coming from the Tampa side) at the entrance is red, just go to the next service road entrance and flip a shitty... Otherwise you'll be stuck in the left turn lane for DAYS.

    Parking is all messed up and TPD officer have attitudes with the guest. They just wait on something to harass you about. TPD makes me stay Home.

    Warning: Slow down if you're coming from the causeway bridge when you hit this beach. Cops hang out here and take advantage of the 60mph to 50mph speed trap.
