[edit] Description

The Bayshore Greenway is a favorite of locals, especially joggers, runners, skaters, and bikers, for its scenic views of the bay and 4.5 miles of the world's longest continuous sidewalk[1], which starts on the north at Columbus Statue Park and ends at Gandy Boulevard. Bayshore Boulevard also is the site of Tampa's annual Gasparilla parade.

The nearby SoHo entertainment district terminates into Bayshore via South Howard avenue. Bayshore's northern terminus segues directly into Downtown and Channelside Drive via the Platt street bridge.
