“Harbored underneath an historic oak grove, Bayview Park offers a chance to experience a Florida rarely found in this area. Inside the park, there is over a half mile of nature trail, picnic areas, a beach overlook and an abundance of native vegetation and wildlife. Few places allow you to experience so much in such a small locality and serve as an escape. Created to protect the native landscape, Bayview has everything from native vegetation to local wildlife. A trip into Bayview Park is a trip across the Florida landscape offering samples of the various ecosystems found throughout the Sunshine State. From wetlands to a one-hundred-year-old oak forest, the dynamic landscape will keep a plant and wildlife enthusiast coming back for more.”Additional from a friend- Harry Harmon At the corner of NE Coachman and Old Coachman at the railroad tracks. The cabin was moved to Heritage Village in Largo I believe.I live next to the McMullen Cemetary and have spoke with the oldest living son who provided some history. Nancy McMullen Meador wrote a book on the history of the area as well I think. Here is a good link of Bayview history. Ashame they put those hideous apartments up nearby https://www.ghosttowns.com/.../bayview-pinellascounty.html
