While tourists flock to the highly popular and well-known beaches of Clearwater and St. Petersburg, locals know all too well that one of Florida’s finest and lesser-known beaches lies just to the north in Tarpon Springs. Howard Park is one of our favorite beach destinations on Florida’s west coast where visitors can frolic in the surf, relax in the...
Howard Park is located in Tarpon Springs, which is just 20 miles north of Clearwater and about 30 miles to the northwest of Tampa. The park is accessible from either Route 19 or Alternate 19. If using a navigational system simply enter Howard Park or 1700 Sunset Drive, which is the address for the park entrance.
The beach portion of the park is easily accessed by the mile-long causeway that provides a scenic panorama of the Gulf of Mexico. Both the beach and the causeway are man-made, having opened to the public in 1966.

The east-facing side of the island seems to be the area for water sports although there is plenty of beach space here to watch the action out on the water. Lifeguards are on duty from March through September from 9 am until 5 pm. There are restrooms and two o...
While the beach area is not huge, there is usually plenty of space to find yourself a quiet corner to enjoy the surf, sand, and scenery. If you need a quick break from the beach you can walk the perimeter of the island which will give you great views of the gulf and a chance to see some of the kiteboarders and windsurfers who frequent the park.
