Location Highlights

Fabulous Gulf Coast Beaches

The challenge in this area isn’t finding a beach—it’s choosing your favorite. More than a dozen beaches are within an easy drive, each with its own character. Some, like Fort De Soto, offer prime pelican viewing. Others, like St. Pete and Sunset, feature vibrant communities made up of locals and visitors. Visit a different beach every week for months; you won’t hit the same one twice.

Weedon Island Preserve

Get up close and personal with the water at this nature preserve, where you can canoe or kayak through mangrove canals. Paddle your boat past the gnarled tree roots for a quiet and uniquely beautiful journey. Out of the water, you’ll find walking and hiking trails. Throughout, you have the chance to see tropical wildlife, including herons, egrets, and turtles.

A Wealth of Museums

Whether you love art, history, or science, you’ll find ample museum-visiting opportunities. Top pick: The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, a world-class venue featuring important works by the great surrealist, as well as fascinating rotating exhibits and a full slate of educational activities for adults and kids. In the same city, you’ll find the outstanding Museum of Fine Arts. Across the bay, Tampa’s MOSI—Museum of Science and Industry—offers mind-boggling, hands-on fun for all ages.

Music for Every Taste

When it comes to music, the St. Pete-Clearwater area rocks. Catch an open-air show in the Jannus Live courtyard, or one of the eclectic shows at the Straz Center. Across the bay, huge arena shows occupy the Tampa Bay Times Forum during the Tampa Bay Lightning off-season. Opera, classical, jazz, and Broadway lovers will also find plenty of offerings within easy driving distance.

Catch a Game, Have a Ball

Home to the Tampa Bay Rays, Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg offers a fabulous place to watch a ball game. Special feature: a 10,000-gallon tank stocked with 30 live rays that fans can touch and feed throughout the game. Gridiron fans can thrill to the Bucs at Raymond James Stadium, considered by many league insiders to be one of the finest venues in the NFL.
