Saturday drive... This time we drive around Davis Islands.

Davis Islands is a Tampa neighborhood on two islands in Hillsborough County, Florida. Its proximity to Downtown Tampa and views of the Port of Tampa have made it a popular area to live.

A canal fully separates a portion of the island from the rest of it, so Davis Islands is technically an archipelago, hence the plural form "Islands" in its name.

Originally, Davis Islands consisted of three islands. With the construction of the airport, however, the end of one canal was filled in to make enough land area for a runway, connecting the two largest islands at their southern ends and reducing the archipelago's island count to two.

There are no traffic lights on the islands.

East Davis Boulevard is the commercial area of the neighborhood. Along several blocks there are restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops in a tranquil sidewalk setting.[1] The area is also very pet-friendly due to the pedestrian nature of the island.
