Where Is Tampa Bay's South Shore?

The South Shore is the part of unincorporated Hillsborough County along the east side of Tampa Bay, south of Brandon and the Alafia River and north of Manatee County. Interstate 75, U.S. 301 and U.S. 41 run north-south through the area, connecting it to downtown Tampa, Brandon, MacDill Air Force Base by way of the Selmon Expressway, and south to Bradenton, Sarasota and St. Petersburg via Interstate 275. None of these communities is an incorporated city; all are governed by Hillsborough County.
