Bay / causeway

Hazards

Causeway-area candidate used for practice/downwind runs, not a single surveyed launch. Verify which side is legal and windward, avoid the highway/bridge structures and vessel channel, and plan for shallow Tampa Bay water, wakes and a separate downwind exit.

Parking & access

Exact causeway launch parking is unverified. Nearby Ben T. Davis Beach about 1.3 km east is sunrise-sunset and City-listed metered parking at $2.50/hour; do not assume that covers the route pin: https://www.tampa.gov/parks-and-recreation/parks-and-facilities/beaches

“Listed for foil practice and downwind routes. Requested-field batch 08 verified 2026-08-01: exact, nearby, regional, operator-area and community-candidate relationships remain explicit; unresolved items remain Unknown.”
