Sunshine Skyway Bridge

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is a striking cable-stayed bridge that spans 6.7 kilometres across Tampa Bay, connecting St. Petersburg and Terra Ceia. Completed in 1987, it features a distinctive design with two tall, sweeping towers that elevate the roadway, offering expansive views of the bay and surrounding areas. The experience of crossing the bridge is enhanced by the vistas, particularly at sunrise or sunset when the light plays across the waters. Nearby, the Manatee Viewing Center offers an opportunity to spot wildlife, especially in the winter months. The bridge is also popular with cyclists, so be cautious of sharing the path.
