Hotels Tampa

not sure but I’d like to find out myself@!

The careful preservation of the diverse cultural heritages is one of the many reasons that Tampa Bay is such a fascinating place. With its diverse economy, Tampa Bay is not as dependent upon tourism as the rest of Florida, but meeting the needs of its visitors is still a large part of local business. Area average temperatures are mid 70’s year round and average of 361 days of sunshine. Some world class beaches abound in the St .Petersburg /Clearwater area with over 35 miles of white sand and two of the top ten beaches in the world. It can’t be beat for a vacation filled with sun, sand and culture. Major league sports are all represented in the area with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays making Tropicana Field, in Downtown St. Petersburg, its home. And, if that is not enough, Orlando’s major attractions are a short 90 minutes away. For family adventure, romance, or plain old R&R the Tampa Metro area is something special.

I regularly visit Clearwater Beach and the quality of the beaches depends largely on who is maintaining them. You will not find the wide, white sand beaches here that the Atlantic coast resorts have. Most of them are rather narrow, and some are pretty steep and gravel filled. The nicest hotel beaches that I’ve seen are the Sheraton Sand Key Resort and Hilton Beach Resort ones. Ironically, the best beach, in my opinion, is the public beach at Pinellas Park. It’s the sandiest, widest one and has a nice nature preserve closeby. If you’re looking for beaches like the ones in Daytona, Miami, or even Panama City, you won’t find them here. Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful part of Florida and not too touristy. Don’t go to any Florida beaches in March or April. Spring breakers make for terrible neighbors in hotels.
