Clam Bayou Nature Park — Attraction in Saint Petersburg

Great little spot, tucked away and off the main roads. Set on the end of a jaunt of land just east of Gulfport. Quite little area with a long history, in the 1990s it underwent a overhaul and restoration that restored it to a little gem of old Florida.

There were a few people walking dogs, and some people watching the sunset (which it's a very good place to do so). Either way, it's a nice small park...
