Don't let the name fool you, Cockroach Bay is one of the gems of the Tampa Bay watershed. An ecologically fertile stretch of mangrove islands and seagrass beds located in Ruskin, Florida, Cockroach Bay is home to some of the best paddling, fishing, and wildlife watching in Florida. Home to snook, trout, redfish, tarpon, ospreys, pelicans, dolphins, roseate spoonbills, manatees, and numerous other species of wading birds, Cockroach Bay offers an often needed and truly beautiful glimpse at a Florida the Tocobaga and Calusa peoples once experienced hundreds of years ago.
