The Tampa Area covers a vast portion of Florida’s beach-smothered Gulf coast, comprising Tampa itself, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and a long string of coastal communities from Pass-a-Grille Beach to Tarpon Springs. Show
The primary tourist attractions tend to be concentrated in Downtown Tampa and Downtown St. Petersburg, though some of the best accommodation lies along the coast. We’ve covered our favorite neighborhoods below. While it’s relatively easy to explore the Downtown areas on foot, a car is the most convenient way to zip between the different areas of Tampa (taxis/Uber can be expensive over long distances). In Tampa itself, the handy TECO Streetcar links Downtown with Ybor City – it’s free. There’s also no charge for the similarly useful Looper Trolley in downtown St. Pete.
