Sunshine Skyway Bridge

Crossing it is the attraction: a cable-stayed span rising over the southern mouth of Tampa Bay. The original bridge, partially felled by a freighter strike in 1980, wasn't demolished — its approaches became Skyway Fishing Pier State Park in 1994, open around the clock with bait and tackle sold on the span. Few landmarks let you drive the new one and fish the old one.

Sunset for the drive; night for the pier, which never closes.

You don't need to pack gear — shops on the pier sell bait, tackle, snacks and drinks.
