Using the address of WTSP-TV Channel 10 so this can be entered easily into your GPS. The bridge and causeway are about 3 miles long.

11450 Gandy Blvd N
Saint Petersburg, Florida
We will be less than a mile east of that location on the other side of the causeway-there is no real address for the location. The bridge itself is east of that (if you are heading into Tampa). Look for the cars and signs. If you are coming from St. Pete, we will be on the right hand side--if you go over the bridge you have gone too far, will have to go into Tampa and do a U-turn and head back over. If you are coming from Tampa, you will go over the bridge first and look for us to your left.
