With a record 351 days of sunshine per
year and miles of sparkling waters to
explore, it’s no wonder millions of visitors
travel to Tampa Bay each year. But in a city
alive with cultural arts, a rich history, famed
annual celebrations, fine dining, sporting
events and world-class attractions, visitors find
just as much to do away from the waterfront.

massage at one of many unique resorts, then get a shot
of adrenaline with the excitement of Busch Gardens.
Work on your golf game or take in a pro sports match-up.
Experience a concert and a fine art exhibition, then take
on the major shopping at one of many upscale malls.
And when the water is the main attraction, visitors will
have no shortage of choices, from fishing off a pier to
the adventure of a deep-sea charter. Enjoying quiet
moments shared with friends and family on a moonlit
dining cruise, or the natural wonders on a canoe trip
down the Hillsborough River.
Tampa Bay is also just a short drive from the Gulf of
Mexico and some of the world’s best beaches, with
miles of blue waterways and sugar-white shorelines,
brilliant sunlit skies and a perfect average annual
temperature of 72 degrees. The area is also centrally
located for easy, one-day trips to spots like Orlando,
Sarasota, Ft. Myers and east coast locales.
Discover the limitless choices of where to find adventure,
fulfill your cravings, nourish your soul and rest your head.
A trip to Tampa Bay will accommodate all tastes,
timelines and travel needs.
