A day on Tampa's 4400 Just a few years ago, despite being located in one of the most popular areas for beaches and water sports, Tampa's waterfront options were limited, especially in and around the downtown area. In recent years though, the Tampa Riverwalk has seen a revitalization that has brought many more opportunities to the area. With restaurants, museums, water rentals and even bathing fountains, the Riverwalk has become a central hub for cultural activities in downtown, and it's possible to spend a whole day navigating the shores of the Hillsborough River without coming close to running out of things to do. My girlfriend, Chelsea, and I recently did this, and it was a rich and rewarding experience that gave us a new appreciation for the city in which we live. On a scorching day (a record breaking ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� and hopped on our bikes in search of some of the best offerings along the Riverwalk. The bikes were a good option for us because we were able to take more time at some locations (like checking out the Mayor's Mac & Cheese Throwdown) or ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ than expected. Another great way to travel is on the Pirate Water Taxi which stops at strategically placed docks all along the Riverwalk. The taxi is reasonably priced and a lot more relaxing than walking or biking, and provides some stunning views of Tampa from the water. The next time we decide to spend a whole day on the Riverwalk, we'll choose a hybrid of the two. Coast Bike Share provides bikes throughout Tampa and has stations along the Riverwalk which will allow us to get on and off when we please, and then we can catch the Pirate Water Taxi for the trip home when we're full and tired.
