Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay is one of the most popular tourist resorts of the United States. With perfect beaches lots of activities and attractions as well as a major historic monument in Fort de Soto it is hardly surprising that tourists come flocking in every year.
Ybor City is one of the coolest places of the Florida Coast with the hottest nightlife scene around. On weekend nights, it’s I-4 traffic at a near standstill as cars filled with party-hungry revelers stack up at the 20th Street exit. For good or bad, Ybor City has made a name for itself as party central in the Tampa Bay area. Tampa’s Latin Quarter knows how to heat things up. The entertainment district, with more than 60 restaurants, bars and nightclubs, draws up to 30,000 people on weekend nights.
St. Petersburg is the major hub of the region. It has great museums and attraction parks and is an ideal base for exploring the region. Pinellas Trail is great if you want to get your bum off the beach for a while. It’s a unique greenway corridor linking some of Pinellas County’s most picturesque parks, scenic coastal areas and residential neighborhoods. While traveling along the Trail, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy deep glades of ancient live oaks trailing Spanish moss, quiet waterways and tidal streams with all varieties of land and water birds. The Trail is a priceless haven in a busy, highly urbanized environment, where Trail-goers safely breeze along. The construction of eight overpasses allow Trail-goers to travel above traffic at busy intersections.
