Get ready to warm up to Tampa Bay! There’s a sunny side to this West Coast community that makes this a true hot spot among the world’s destinations. Naturally there’s lots of water, sand and sunshine. But you’ll also discover an area that’s alive with the arts, seriously sports-minded, always planning a party or parade, and filled with only-in-Tampa Bay places to go, things to do and sights to see. Whatever your pleasure, you'll find it in Tampa Bay!

Your vacation in Tampa Bay can be exactly what you want and need it to be. Pick from posh resorts, suites complete with kitchens, places to park an RV, or idyllic spots to pitch a tent. Stroll aboard a luxury cruise line or climb onto a catamaran. Fish from a pier or cast off from the deck of a deep-sea charter. Smack a golf ball then take your seat at a professional ballgame. Buy fresh local goods from a farmer’s market in the morning, then shop for a designer gown to wear that night.

This is the place to careen wildly in a state-of-the-art roller coaster at Busch Gardens, serenely sail along quiet coastal waters, take in a fine art exhibition, or pop open a bottle of aged wine. This is where your list of things to do just keeps getting longer. Watch as fine cigars are hand-rolled in Ybor City.
