Tampa Bay Area at a Glance
With a long held reputation as a vacation destination, mention of the Tampa
Bay area elicits thoughts of dazzling beaches and waterfronts among some of
Florida's most well
known resorts. Tampa
is Florida's largest city, complete with all the amenities and services travelers
could ask for. St.
Petersburg and Clearwater
further the area's acclaim as a get-away location, with fine dining, live entertainment
and an abundance of leisure opportunities including boating, deep-sea fishing,
water skiing, and golf all within easy reach. The Busch
Gardens theme park and the magnificent Florida
Aquarium are two Tampa Bay area attractions favored by families. The town
of Tarpon
Springs was named for the large fish native to the area that resemble prehistoric
beasts and which are the cause of the well known saltwater fishing that is available
today. For racing action, check out Tampa
Bay Downs, a horse racing facility that offers betting, food and more.
