I'm on my way to Tampa to visit my son at USF and I'll be free tonight while the boys watch football. I don't want to drive too far but I'd really love to find a park or something by the water so I can take some pretty sunset pix. Any ideas (or does anyone want to join me)???

from Tampa you will need to go straight West and you will run into the Gulf...it's a great place to "explore" and visit...there is a Columbia Restaurant in Clearwater just a little South from the bridge to Clearwater...really good food...but the very best Columbia is in Ybor City...it's the original, they have Flamingo Dancing here...but I will say the food is beyond excellent and if you've never been to a Columbia you need to go...They have the very best Key Lime Pie I have ever had at any restaurant...in a wk I will be looking for the best Key Lime in the Keys...
Wish I could meet you there...I had gone up to Sunset Park in Tarpon Springs...that was a nice park...but a little bit of a drive from Tampa...not far and there is excellent Greek Food...I don't know the restaurants there at all
And there is also "Honeymoon Island" nice beach area and would make for a good sunset....this is the State Park
Hope you have a good time...let me know where you end up...IMO the best Sunset Pictures will be on the Gulf...you can get them on the Bay but the Gulf is stunning
Pier 60 is a hotspot for people watching around sunset, and the view isn't bad by any means.
just looked up some images on this...I stayed last year just a little down the beach from this and missed it totally...this year (in Jan) I will have to make a point to go out there...thanks Cory

You bet, I used to spend my evenings out there playing guitar and flirting with girls... Good times,, good times...
Pier 60 looks great... But now I'm thinking it's too far. 4 hr drive here, then just drove 30 min each way to the mall, not sure I want to drive 45 min each way by myself. I think I'd need motivation from a DPCer in the area. :-)

Thanks though. Maybe next time I can plan better.
it's really not that far and the drive is interesting and pretty too

Really? It seems like it's an hour away.
I don't think so...what does your phone tell you??? It's pretty good roads getting there and it's really a nice drive...tell you what...you take Greg with you and you guys watch the sunset and go on down the road just a little bit and eat at the Columbia...if you've never ate at one you are in for a super special treat...dressy casual here's the phone number to make the reservation...Columbia Restaurant1241 Gulf Boulevard, Clearwater, FL 33767 phone...(727) 596-8400 the food is to die for...they make super good Mojito's, and the 1905 Salad is over the moon!!! You guys will have a good time...
