Sunset from Gulfport Waterfront District, Florida on 9 Mar 2016 PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBERT NEFF
Sunset from the Williams Pier in Gulfport was at 6:36 PM
Williams Pier provides vista views around Boca Ciega Bay. To the south the view stretched from the buildings along St. Petersburg's Clam Bayou to 54th Avenue and its Bridges to the Pinellas Bayway on St. Pete Beach. Across Boca Ciega Bay is St. Pete Beach from the Loews Don Cesar to the northern end. Looking back is a vista view of Gulfport Waterfront District.
