I'm a big fan of beach travel (I basically lived on a beach for 6 years--while working, of course!). If you are looking for a quiet coastal escape with warm breezes and natural beauty, I'll take you on a visual tour of the shores around Apollo Beach. I'll help you discover calm waters, family-friendly spots, and scenic nature preserves create a peaceful and sun-soaked coastal getaway. "These beaches in Apollo Beach, FL offer a tranquil setting for romantic strolls, wildlife watching, and waterfront sunsets away from the crowds."

Here's What I Recommend:

  • Stroll along the sandy shoreline at Apollo Beach Nature Preserve, ideal for peaceful walks and views of Tampa Bay.
  • Watch the sunset over the water with gentle waves and uninterrupted views.
  • Explore the nearby Manatee Viewing Center, where you can spot sea cows during cooler months.
  • Relax with a picnic by the beach or under shaded pavilions with your partner.
  • Dine at a waterfront seafood spot along the Apollo Beach marina for a cozy end to your beach day.
