Tampa Bay Florida

Busch Gardens Lion

Busch Gardens - always a fave - for all ages

Tampa Bay Florida is home to some of the best beaches in Florida including public beaches (Siesta Key, Sand Key) and Florida State Parks (Caledesi Island, Honeymoon Island, Fort De Soto and Egmont Key). Most of these are award winners as Best Beaches!

With temperatures in the mid 70s year round, this popular family fun spot is a busy beach where you’ll never be bored for lack of things to do.

Tampa Florida itself is always full of life and hustle and bustle so it’s great to be able to mix that with some time getting that perfect golden glow while loafing on pristine white sandy beaches.

The beaches provide a perfect complement to the big fun all around because you always know that at the end of a busy day, you can sit on the beach and unwind for awhile while the kids play in the water.

Home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team, as well as hockey league- Tampa Bay Lightning. Jai-Alai is popular here, also. Tampa has been dubbed “the sports capital of the USA.”

Two baseball teams- the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees -do their spring training here as well, making the city a favorite destination of sports lovers of all kinds.
