Jet skis, water bikes, parasailing and other water sports are available for a fee and are located at various spots up and down the beach. Annual tournaments and beach events are often held throughout the year. Children can bring their pail and shovel and build sandcastles or bury mom or dad in the sand. A large playground area located in front of Pier 60 provides hours of play for the little ones featuring swings, slides and other sand areas. Each evening two hours before sunset, Pier 60 comes alive with magicians, music, and other types of live entertainment. Crafters and artists will amaze you with their original pieces and talents.

POPULAR PARKS IN SAFETY HARBOR
PHILIPPE PARK
Philippe Park in Safety Harbor is the oldest park in Pinellas County, opening in 1948, and is named for Count Odet Philippe who introduced citrus farming to Florida upon his arrival to Florida in 1842. The park originally housed his plantation on which he grew various citrus trees, some of which still remain there today. The park is covered with an umbrella of shade trees, keeping visitors cooler even on the hottest of summer days. The 122 acre park offers picnicking, fishing, a boat launching area, playgrounds, and a gorgeous 1 mile view of the Old Tampa Bay shoreline. This park is listed in the National Register of Historical Landmarks because it has an Indian mound that you can hike to. Have your next weekend gathering at Safety Harbor’s historic Philippe Park!
