    The area and getting around

    A thriving metropolitan area bursting with activities

    Tampa Bay encompasses four cities: Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Brandon, all of which border the largest open-water estuary on Florida's west coast (covering nearly 400 square miles). The outdoor recreational opportunities alone provide reason enough to visit the region, but if water sports aren't your thing, the Tampa Bay area is packed with many other exciting experiences to satiate adrenaline junkies, shopaholics and bar junkies alike.

    At the heart of Tampa Bay, we find a city full of character

    The city of Tampa is at the heart of all this excitement. Nestled at the mouth of the bay, it is a mid-sized city full of character. The Channelside District is nestled right in the heart of Tampa and is crammed full of fabulous restaurants and shops. Ybor City, northeast of downtown, is Tampa’s historic and hip neighborhood, popular among the younger crowd. Seminole Heights on the west side of Tampa boasts a hearty art scene and scrumptious hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

    Tampa for beach Vacations

    The St. Petersburg-Clearwater Barrier Islands boast approximately 35 miles of gorgeous white sand beaches lapping the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The beaches in the area are undoubtedly some of the best in the entire country, winning awards for everything from sand quality to environmental stewardship, Clearwater Beach has been ranked as the No. 1 city beach in the Gulf region. This area is one of the few untamed beaches in all of Florida – you'll feel like you're on a desert island!

    Tampa is home to the “world’s longest continuous sidewalk”, at 4.5 miles in length – a gorgeous palm-tree lined recreational path just begging to be explored!
