Tampa and Gulf Coast holiday guide
This area has something for everyone. Visitors can experience miles and miles of wide, sandy beaches with sunset views to rival Key West. There’s also great deep-sea fishing and, in the Tampa Bay area, a vibrant and eclectic nightlife. Find out more with this Gulf Coast holiday guide.
Beaches, bunkers and nightlife
It seems you can’t go more than a few miles in Tampa and the Gulf Coast without coming across a world-class golf course. Try the La Playa Golf Club at La Playa Beach and Golf Resort, featuring a David Leadbetter Golf Academy.
Perhaps the most underrated aspect of the Gulf Coast is its wide, sandy beaches. Being protected from the Atlantic, the waters are gentle and crystal clear blue, making them perfect for swimming, fishing and watersports.
Thrill-seekers should head for Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay, whose rollercoasters consistently rank among the very best in the world.

A feast for the senses
You’ll easily find fresh, affordable seafood everywhere you go in the Tampa Bay area. But some of the best and most interesting meals can be found in Ybor City, whose Latin heritage and hip reputation have made it the place to be. Try the Spanish and Cuban food at Columbia and be sure to stay for the flamenco dancing. Another great place to find good food is in Hyde Park, where a diverse range of restaurants can be found on South Howard Avenue, Tampa.
