Outdoors

On a sun-drenched peninsula separating the Gulf of Mexico from Tampa Bay lies St. Pete/Clearwater, Florida. Surrounded by crystal-clear emerald water, caressed by warm Gulf breezes, being here feels like what you think of when you hear the word “paradise.” On the other side of the Bay, the Tampa Riverwalk links together downtown Tampa’s top attractions along a 2.6-mile waterfront walkway bookended by two food halls. On one end, Sparkman Wharf, a new-age waterfront food hall with refurbished shipping containers as unique eateries, houses The Battery, a bourbon-and-wine dining experience.

Culinary

Take your taste buds on a journey through Tampa Bay, where the cuisine is just as unique and rich as the culture. Foodies flock to the rustic-chic Brick & Mortar on Central Ave. in St. Pete and crave the ever-changing menu at The Restorative in Dunedin. Romantics and others in search of a special-occasion dinner head to Maritana at The Don CeSar on St. Pete Beach, and residents and visitors alike know you can’t go wrong at our local institutions, including Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish in St. Pete (a family-owned joint dating to 1951). Tampa Bay recently earned inclusion in the first-ever Michelin Guide to Florida, only the fifth U.S. destination to welcome the world’s oldest restaurant rating system and its prestigious stars. Come and enjoy some of Tampa Bay’s top-rated restaurants like Oak & Ola, Rocca, Rooster & the Till, Èlevage, Cena, Ichicoro Ramen, Koya and many more!
