Hiking
Ballast Point Park offers a beautiful long pier that faces east into the dawn. And on clear days, you can see the tall buildings of Tampa sitting on the horizon.

Road cycling
Ballast Point Park is a common starting point for people riding the Bayshore Boulevard since it's just a short spin on the road to get to the trail.
With ample parking, a public pier, restrooms, and water fountains, it's no wonder why this spot gets so busy on weekends and evenings.
