Tampa Bay, FL

Fort DeSoto park consists of 1,136 acres of five interconnected islands of mangroves, palm hammocks, and six miles of beach frontage. Construction completed in 1900, Fort DeSoto never saw any combat and was abandoned after only 23 years. Designated as a county park in 1963 and has since been preserved as a historical site that holds a rich part of American history. (Source: Flordia Department of Environmental Protection)
