Destinations in Gulf Coast Excl Sw Florida
Sarasota, FLIf you're looking for a relaxed and totally laid-back place to soak in the sun and wade around the surf, you've found it. John Ringling, one of the fathers of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, was right on when he chose this historical town for the winter home of his traveling show. With weather that rarely falls below 60°F even on winter nights and an average of 364 days of sun a year, who wouldn't want to spend some time here?! When you've had your fill for the day of the ivory white beaches and gentle surf, venture through the lush forests buzzing with wildlife, or go for a stroll around the many lovely public gardens!.
Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater, FLTampa, the third largest city in Florida, is such a dynamic city with so many activities that it's hard to imagine the sleepy little fishing town is once was. Cuban immigrants founded Ybor City in the 1880s, and by the early 1900s, this historic city was considered the cigar capital of the world. The old cigar factories and beautiful cobblestone streets remain, but today it's home to the bay area's hottest nightlife. On the many sun-drenched days, visitors have a choice of bustling waterfront activities, world-class golf, renowned museums and aquariums, riveting sports at several family-oriented arenas, and exhilarating theme parks. The most famous of these is Busch Gardens-Tampa Bay, where you can practically feel the breath of wild animals on the monorail safari through the "African Plains.".
