    Sunset
    Sean D.

    Love coming here to run, the parking goes quick on weekends and they close gates to most of the parking area at sunset. I really like how you can just park your vehicle close to the water and relax and take in the view. There are bbq spots available as well as a couple food vendors. It's a beautiful place for sunset and taking a dip in the ocean.

    This beach was only a walk from our hotel so we stopped by to catch the sunset on our way to dinner. The sunset was a mixture of pink tones overlooking the water. One of the best sunsets I've seen but since it was dark, we decided to come back the next day to really check out the beach. The beach in daylight wasn't the cleanest though. The color of the water didn't really convinced me to go in. The beach was quite small and not crowded. However, you really have to bring your own umbrella because summer in Florida is scorching hot. We didn't end up staying too long.

    Ben T Davis Beach is open, the beach is lovely. The amenities are not open yet, but you can use the bathroom facilities. If you are looking to use the tables for food or big gatherings they aren't available yet, but you can still enjoy the white sand beach. Parking is available and it was for an easy access, not full when I visited. If you like to walk along the path is a wonderful way to enjoy the ocean breeze and exercise with your family. The path is also for biking but no motor vehicles are allowed. Everyone was very respectful of social distancing when I walked, although no one wear masks or coverings anywhere in that area. The beach it's a little rocky so I decided not to go into the water but I did enjoyed been by the ocean. I noticed there were a families enjoying the day, walking along the path, joggers, bike riders and couples walking along the beach. Some of the photos also include the views of the walking path. I also uploaded a video! Visit this beach and enjoy the ocean breeze with your family and or friends.

    Glass on beach. Unacceptable

    Glass on beach. Unacceptable. Water looks dirty which we expected. But unsafe walking and wading not cool at all. Plus people smoking weed behind us. Not sure if this is what I call family friendly.

    I am new to the area so I went to the beach that was closest to me This is a small beach with a small parking fee. It is stinky and lots of seaweed. The sand area is strewn with litter.

    Sand isn't soft.. lots of debris in it.

    Ugh... my sister and I decided to try out this beach because: -traffic/parking at Clearwater is crazy -figured wouldn't be as packed as Clearwater -this beach was walking distance of our hotel -wouldn't have to worry about parking if we walk We quickly realized that it was mistake coming to this beach because: -this is tiniest beach ever -was pretty crowded still -seemed "dirty" -water was murky and "sea weedy" -sand was NOT soft (like Clearwater) -tons of broken, sharp shells to walk on We stayed for maybe 40 minutes and decided to head to Clearwater Beach instead... should have just gone to Clearwater in the first place.

    It was really beautiful watching sunset from here. It was a big parking area and you could see the water really close by and get in the water too. It's beautiful, I recommend it

    View from the parking lot!

    I absolutely love love love coming to this beach. However, If you are searching for a beach to swim and/or lay out at I wouldn't recommend this beach. This is more of a beach park. I come here to run several times each week. The trail is alongside the beach and crosses over the bridge on CCC. There are multiple entrances but I always park at the very first entrance. I park there mainly because there are restrooms and every time i have been here the restrooms are well kept and there has always been toilet paper. Very grateful and appreciative of that! I love that the trail stretches for many miles because I run long distance. I always see other runners, people walking, running, biking, roller blading, skating and many people fishing as well :). It's a great and well kept, clean trail. After running I do take my shoes off and walk into the water. I have also stayed and have been here a few times for sunset. I also noticed that (mostly on weekends) many people use the grills and picnic benches and play music etc. I have yet to have a negative experience! One of my favorite running trails in Tampa thus far!

    Looking for one last sunset before a flight out of Tampa? Provided you can find parking (it's free here but can get crowded) this beach is less than 10 minutes from the Tampa airport! I was so grateful for one last sunset view and the chance to wade in the water here as a farewell to Florida before returning to Texas! One of the security officers at out gate asked why the bottom of my pants were wet and seem touched when I told her we had to see the sunset before our flight! Simple joys like this are hard to beat! Nothing to criticize here--only praise:)!!

    Stopped by one of the beaches here on the side of the main road. Nice view of the sun setting. Small sandy beach area. Restroom not well kept. It's a nice spot if you need a breather. Paid parking.

    This is more of a 3.5 star rating. Ben T Davis isn't a large beach, but that didn't stop us from having a nice time. Pros: The bathrooms are clean, cool and fully stocked. There are jet ski rentals nearby. Cons: A great deal of broken shells along the shore. It makes walking along the edge difficult. You basically have to go a few feet in for a comfortable walk and then you can see a school of tiny fish. The surface area of sand is extremely limited. Everyone has to crowd together.

    All this verbiage about the water, I ain't sure I wanna go in.

    It's fine. Not really all that clean. Just as likely to see a cigarette butt as a seashell.

In spite of the fact that this beach is "under construction," (including a looooong line of rusty steel pipes apparently transporting more sand from off shore...) it's beautiful, less crowded than other beaches in the area, and PERFECT for a quick, early fall getaway!! Avoid the crowds, and check out this beautiful, scenic, and soon to be EXTRA sandy gulf paradise... BONUS: You'll see sooooo many exotic birds (egrets, pelicans, herons...) you'll think you're DEEEEEP in the tropics, and not just a few miles away from the busy "strip!!" ENJOY!!

They had the sand sculptures up and it was amazing. Truly beautiful and incredible to see in person. The beach itself is clean, well kept, and absolutely gorgeous.

Paying for parking immediately. Set the tone, especially since there's nothing particularly special about this beach. On top of that, I didn't realize until after I paid for parking that it's not dog friendly, which feels ridiculous for such a wide open public space. Sand, I did venture out for a while and the sound was ultra fine which super annoying. The views are okay and it wasn't crowded which is nice but now I know why. Most of the people I saw were much older and were fully dressed walking on the pathway and not really utilizing the beach. There are so many beaches in Florida. I'm not sure why anyone comes here. Nothing stood out or made us want to stay or really justified all the inconveniences. This beach is just meh and if you're close by ok but definitely not worth going out of your way for.
