Providing a truly walkable location, Marina Pointe is steps away from everyday luxuries and essentials including a spa, grocery store, restaurants and shopping at Marina Landings. However, the arts, culture, dining, and variety of entertainment offerings of Downtown Tampa is just minutes from Marina Pointe, and yours to explore.
Downtown Tampa runs adjacent to the Hillsborough River and Tampa Bay creating a waterfront atmosphere ideal for boaters or those desiring life on the water, year-round. With dozens of docking options, you will even find many venturing to dining and outdoor hot spots by boat. We’ve heard our owners already talking about how wonderful it will be to walk down to their boat in our private marina and venture around Tampa Bay.
With the Riverwalk stretching the entire length of Downtown, and a Trolley service, everything is easily accessible. It is a great place to stay active, offering an incredibly scenic route to walk, bike or run.
