Visiting Tampa soon? Check out the Top Things to Do in Tampa.
Tampa, Florida is known for it’s sunny weather and world-famous attractions. No wonder why Tampa is one of the top tourist destinations in Florida. Here is a list of the top things to do in Tampa. From exquisite cuisine to thrilling amusement parks, this list is sure to please everyone.
Opal Sands Resort
Opal Sands Resort is a chic waterfront resort in Clearwater Beach, Florida. We had the penthouse corner suite and it was absolutely amazing. But each of the regular rooms boasts panoramic Gulf views. They have a relaxing spa, vibrant dining experiences, and an unmatched view of the gulf from the outdoor pool and lounge areas. I loved that Opal Sands Resort has wrist bands for room keys and other entry points so you do not have to worry about toting a key around with you at the pool. This will be the only place I will stay during my visits to Tampa.
Clearwater Beach
One of my favorite things about Florida is the beach. If you’re willing to travel a little outside of Tampa, however, the best beach is definitely Clearwater Beach. It’s about 25 miles west of Tampa Bay, and it offers just about everything that you could want from a beach. Since I stayed at the Opal Sands resort it was only a short walk from the pool to be beachside.
Hyde Park Village
Hyde Park Village is stylish open-air complex with higher-end retailers, restaurants & bars, plus a movie theater in the heart of Historic Tampa. We had a great time walking around shopping, trying different desserts and exploring all the options that Hyde Park Village had to offer. I also noticed that there was also housing near Hyde Park so I’m sure you could get an AirBnB that is within walking distance of Hyde Park. Lastly, I had the best meal of my life at Timpano Hyde Park. The cocktails were top of the line and the table-side pasta was everything. This is a must try while visiting Tampa.
Busch Gardens Tampa
Busch Gardens Tampa is one of the coolest things to do in the entire state of Florida. It’s partly a zoo and partly an amusement park, and you can lose entire weekends to its zip-lines, bumper cars, bird gardens, water slides and elephant enclosures.
Tampa Riverwalk
Tampa Riverwalk simply put, is a pedestrian trail that stretches for almost three miles near and through the Hillsborough River of Tampa. Some people walk it; some people bike or bus alongside it; some people might take a break and finish the trail later. With scenic views near the river, it’s a great place for sightseeing. It’s also a nice gateway for the attractions of Tampa.
