About Apollo Beach
Apollo Beach is a sleepy, older community-but one that’s wiping the sleep from its eyes and waking up. Situated directly on Tampa Bay, Apollo Beach itself is best known for its views of the towering Tampa Electric smokestacks and its 55-miles of navigable canals lined with stately, extravagant homes and lush, tropical landscaping.
Apollo Beach residents have excellent access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The term “beach” may be a misnomer though, as the shoreline is mostly rocky dredge from years of construction projects.
However, much habitat reclamation and restoration are now underway so residents and visitors alike may enjoy the unique fishing, shoaling and shark-tooth fossil-hunting offered in the area.
