Tampa Bay is a vibrant waterfront area on Florida's
beautiful West Coast and offers a unique blend of urban excitement set in a
natural surrounding. Roar down roller coasters in the morning; row down the
nature rich Hillsborough River in the afternoon. Catch a ball game from the
bleachers; catch some rays on the nearby beaches. This central Florida
location offers easy access to the rest of the state, but you're bound to
stay for all the excitement Tampa Bay has to offer.
While originally the name of a body of water on the west coast of Florida,
Tampa Bay has now come to represent the region made up of the many distinct
communities connected by the Bay waters. The New York Times says,
"Now, in fact, if not law, it's one big metropolitan area, laced together
with bridges and freeways - everyone calls it Tampa Bay, and it is a
prototypical example of the Sun Belt's explosive growth." Tampa Bay is not
only the most populous and affluent metropolitan statistical area in
Florida; it is also the largest television market in the state.
From the distinct Latin roots of Tampa's historic Ybor (E-bore) City to
the Greek history of Tarpon Springs; from the thrills of Busch Gardens to
the culture of our museums, visitors have plenty of genuine, exciting
attractions and communities to explore.
