Is the beach good for sunbathing?

East beach (Florida) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all East beach (Florida) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the East beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

Everything about this place was incredible, except for the location of the site and the unpleasant water. Aside from that, we had a fantastic time.

The beach is always a beautiful place with a gentle breeze by the water and a lovely sandy beach.

I absolutely love everything about Fort Desoto. The BBQ facilities in the shelters are incredibly well-designed, complete with movable grills. The grills themselves are made of heavy-duty bar stock, which means that placing a secondary grill or covering it with aluminum foil creates an even better cooking surface. The placement of trash receptacles is very convenient, and the tables are always well-maintained. Overall, it provides a fantastic picnic experience.

We went to the beach in early February and it wasn't crowded at all. The parking fee is $5, which you can pay at the machines, and it allows you to park anywhere in the park until 9:00 pm. The park has fantastic bike paths that cover the entire area, and the views are absolutely stunning!

4 Frustrating

This beach isn't as crowded, but there are several drawbacks. There are plenty of seaweeds, and the sand isn't as fine as other beaches. Unfortunately, the kids ended up with cuts while playing on the beach. During the summer, the problem with bugs and gnats is significant, so be prepared with bug spray and other measures. I wouldn't recommend it. There are better beaches in the Tampa Bay area.
