Created by Snarkitecture, The Beach Tampa is a 15,000-square-foot immersive environment featuring an “ocean” of 1.2 million recyclable and antimicrobial white balls.

Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday, noon to 8 p.m.; Friday, noon to 10 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and, Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free, but tickets must be reserved by visiting TheBeachTampa.com or Ticketmaster.com.
