Tampa and its surrounding area have over 50 great public, private, and semi-private golf clubs, offering travelling golfers the opportunity to experience what golf is on offer just a short drive from Tampa International.

Tampa is also famous for its intra-coastal waterways, fantastic sugar-white sand beaches from Sarasota in the South up through Tampa Bay, and further North including the ever-popular Clearwater and St Pete’s Beach as it is known locally. St Petersburg also has to be on your must-visit list; this popular resort area is just a short drive from Tampa International airport.

The area itself also has some unusual and very much iconic animals as in the sea elephant, or as it is correctly named the Manatee. These gentle giants can be found in the Teco Manatee Viewing Centre from late September to February and March. Their natural habitat is in and around the Intracoastal Waterways of Crystal River some 70 miles or so up the Gulf Coast.

Those looking for entertainment and theme parks then look no further than Busch Gardens, a great choice amongst others in the area.

Whatever you choose to do, Tampa as a region has more than meets the eye, and with direct flights into Tampa, what better place to discover all that is on offer without the hustle and bustle that other destinations offer.
