This little island is in Tampa Bay, between MacDill Air Force Base RV park, and Manatee Viewing Center @ Apollo Beach (northwest).

It’s privately owned but opens to public; no bathrooms on the tiny island tho. More pix on Google Maps.
Reportedly, the name came from the fact that there were so many beer cans left on the island by boaters … Now it seems all cleaned up.
On our way to lunch at Rick’s on the River in Tampa, we passed a few sights, Straz Center, etc.

We’ve lunch here yesterday – Saturday.
The location is great, on the Hillsborough River, with plenty boat slips at 1:30pm.
It has indoor and covered outdoor areas. We sat out. All tables are for max 8 people, benches with no back support.
The service is slow, both drinks and food – got our food exactly an hour later. Our girl is gracious and lovely. The few waiting staff I saw, are young girls who wear tight outfit (not unifform). I would expect them to be sporty but instead, I feel lifeless. I yielded to a tall girl after bathroom. She opened the door and just left. Ok, maybe she was juggling two drinks on the tray … I would use my body to hold the door for the next person IF my hands are occupied …
The foods: average bar food. I’ve Little Neck clams, the two pieces of toast are delicious. Chicken wrap is good.
As we were leaving, a band came to set it up. One member wore a Brookly NY leather jacket honoring the fallen heroes on Veterans Dat. I asked him if he was from Bly and he replied a big YES -:). Then asked me if I’m from Thailand or Philippine. I replied, Africa.
“Really?”
Really sir.
Thanks for these who served.
