A good choice!

An easy drive: I-75 south to I-275;
take 275 west towards the airport until it intersects with Highway 60 (in front of the airport).

Head west on 60 until you reach the Gulf! NOTE: Highway 60 is also called the Courtney Campbell Causeway and Gulf to Bay Road.

Plenty of parking; a pier that juts out into the bay; lots of food joints; safe; clean.

I recommend renting an umbrella there. Hours of baking in direct sun decreases the fun factor, sunburn hurts for a day or so afterward, and neither experience is all that healthy.
