About Hula Bay (Tampa I)
The Tampa location is located in the Tampa Harbor Marina, and is right next door to the magnificent waterfront restaurant Hula Bay as well as Dukes Retired Surfers Bar. Enjoy the pool at Hula Bay as well as the delicious food, drink and sunsets right from the waterfront dining areas. Our convenient South Tampa location is just seconds to the open waters of Old Tampa Bay.
Weedon Island is a favorite fishing spot among Tampa Bay anglers. Though shallow, it is home to some of the biggest Redfish, Sea Trout and Snook in the bay. Its winding estuaries are beautiful and wildlife abundant. You'll want to take a day to try your hand at fishing here.
The Getaway is just across the Gandy Bridge. It’s a short ride to downtown Tampa, St. Pete. Clearwater or wherever you like. Just 15 minutes from downtown Tampa, Davis Islands, Hyde Park and historic St. Petersburg, there are no slow zones between the Gulf of Mexico’s shimmering waters and us. On the way, you'll pass a deserted island where FBC Tampa have their island parties.
