About location

Howard Frankland Bridge lies across Old Tampa Bay, carrying Interstate 275 between Tampa and St. Petersburg over a broad estuarine inlet. It is one of three road crossings linking the two sides of the bay, alongside the Gandy Bridge and the Courtney Campbell Causeway. The route forms part of the Tampa Bay area’s principal north–south motorway network, connecting central Tampa with Pinellas County and the beaches beyond St. Petersburg. Completed in 1960 and named for a former chairman of the Florida State Road Board, the crossing has been repeatedly expanded as the metropolitan area grew. Its alignment runs through open bay water, with the urban shorelines of Hillsborough and Pinellas counties marking either end.

City Sunset Beach

Built around the sheltered waters of Tampa Bay, Sunset Beach developed as a waterfront community within Florida’s Gulf Coast region. The bay is a broad estuary connected to the Gulf of Mexico, shaping a setting defined by open water, low-lying shores and the changing light of Florida’s subtropical climate. Tampa lies across the bay, while the wider metropolitan area brings together marinas, coastal parks and long-established port communities.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

Country United States

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
