Tampa is perhaps most famous for the beautiful beaches of Clearwater and nearby St Petersburg. Clearwater has the most
amazing sand bars that allow beach goers to walk 100 yards into the ocean, with water only up to their knees. Because
the water is so clear you can view ocean wildlife up close you would other wise not have a chance; starfish and
sea horses are not uncommon in these waters. Equally impressive is Tampa's bustling Downtown. Tampa is more than
just an Oceanside town - Newsweek ranked the city in the top 10 as a city where the "jobs and dollars are" in 1999 and
Yahoo! Ranked the city as one of the Nation's most wired cities. The city has found that rare balance of urban energy and
stunning natural beauty.
Tampa Hotels worth checking out include the new $110 million dollar
Wyndham Hotel's handsome highrise hotel, and the
Belleview Biltmore, which is
just a few minutes from the sands of Clearwater Beach. And of course
Don CeSar,
whose rosy exterior has for so long towered over the seas of St. Petersburg and become recognized as a regional landmark.
Of course in addition to these regional gems, most chains provide their usual quality accommodations, but you surely can't go wrong giving one of these 3 a try.
