The Bayshore Beautiful neighborhood is located in South Tampa. Its boundaries are El Prado Boulevard to the North, Virginia Park to the West, Ballast Point to the Southeast, Sun Bay South to the Southwest, and Bayshore Boulevard to the East. Most of the homes in the Bayshore Beautiful neighborhood were built in the early 1920’s. The area features homes that are very consistent in character.

You can connect the history of this neighborhood back to the Henry B. Plant Hotel. Plant insisted that Lafayette Street (Kennedy Boulevard) be extended by half a mile to the river and that a bridge would be built which gave access to what is now South Tampa to his luxury resort. It took a considerable amount of time for the Bayshore area to become popular, as it was considered far too wild for inhabitation. It is now one of the most scenic and desirable of the South Tampa neighborhoods.
