Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great walk to see the views of the waterfront of Tampa.
It is similar to waterfront views of other cities. If your already in the area, it is worth spending some time to just enjoy the fresh air and water views.
The area was busy and everyone was having a nice stroll out. Nice place to spend some time, to enjoy the sunny weather and just have a relaxed afternoon.

Maybe by car, walking or running this is a beautiful boulevard to take. I regularly take this route, even a longer way to my destination because of its beauty. Unfortunately no place to park unless you drive into a side street and are lucky to find a place to park.

Definitely go see this during the Chrismas season. You have to creep along, because everyone is there to see the Christmas lights on the houses, but the view is beautiful.

One side has the river... nice. The other has big buildings or a street... nothing much to see and very few places to eat or to rest.
Maybe nicer if you go on a bike so you can explore more... on the car is not big deal.

It is a wonderful walk along Tampa Bay. A very long strip along the waterfront where the view is the magnificent bay, downtown Tampa and beautiful Bayshore Boulevard with palatial homes. This is the way to really see Tampa.

They say that this is the longest continuous sidewalk in the US. Doesn't matter because the view is spectacular! We walked 9 miles, round trip, and had the beautiful Bay next to us the whole way!

With 4.5 miles of unbroken waterfront sidewalk, Bayshore is the best place in Tampa to be active for walkers, cyclists, runners and inline skaters.
The view of the bay is always nice but look over the balustrade and on a good day you’ll see dolphins swimming right beside you! Evening thunderstorms out on the bay also make perfect Bayshore vistas.
TIP: The northern part of Bayshore can get a bit busy some weekday evenings between 6pm and 8pm as local running clubs turn out to use it.

I ran 4-5 miles a day on Bayshore while visiting Tampa, and I saw a dolphin one day! It was very cool. Keep your eyes out on the bay while you're exploring!

The City of Tampa has had a parade to celebrate the "Friendly" capture and sacking of the City of Tampa since 1904. The Famous Pirate Jose Gaspar and his motley crew sail into Tampa on a specially made pirate ship amid cannon fire and sword waving accompanied by a flotilla of privately owned Privateers and storm the city and the awaiting Mayor, demanding the surrender of Tampa and the Key to the City! The confrontation takes place near the convention center, then moves to Bayshore boulevard where the Pirate Krewes march on the city, throwing trinkets and beads to the people lining the parade route. Think Pirate Mardi-Gras! the parade is free on the land side of Bayshore and can become very congested with as many as 200,000 people descending on the parade route. The water side of Bayshore is lined with bleachers and requires a fee of $45.00 per person to obtain a pass. If you hate crowds or if you have children with you and missed the children's parade held the week before you may give some thought to buying a pass, it is not as crowded and the children can get to the route barricade to receive beads and trinkets. The parade is more Family friendly at the beginning than at the end. Also for those people that want a more Adult parade a week after the Gasparilla Parade there is a night parade held in Ybor City. All in all the Gasparilla Parade is a must for every aspiring Pirate! it is well run and the City and Event coordinators do a great job of making it as safe and orderly as possible, block off the last Saturday in January so you don't miss it!.

Beautiful place for bike riding, walking or running. Incredibly safe even at night. Cross over the Platt Street bridge and check out the Riverwalk while you're here. Bike rentals are now available near the convention center.

I live outside of Tampa and haven't stayed at the Sheraton but I do have a couple of recommendations outside of Tampa prop3r the Grand Hyatt at Rocky Point its very convenient to Tampa and the airport. If you'd like to stay on the beach there's a brand new Wyndham which is lovely on Clearwater beach.
I don't know their availability but I've stayed the Hyatt and friends have stayed at the Wyndham.

Consider Hilton, Marriott or Westin. This last one is waterfront. The Embassy suite is just in front. If want a different experience but more expensive get the Epicurium just in the Hyde park area at Howard st south
