Really, Tampa Bay is a fisherman’s paradise. There are speckled sea trout, redfish, Cobia, Snook and more. Heat up the grill! Your neighbor just caught a tarpon big enough to feed the entire block. Some may serve up catfish or shark on a Saturday night.
The enthusiasm of the Tampa Sailing Squadron is catchy and you may find yourself out on the glistening waters taking in the reliable sunshine without even touching a fishing pole! Around the south end of the peninsula to the west of the bay, more adventure awaits: The deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the miles of pure white sand along the barrier islands are only 20 miles away by boat.
This is the winter home for the elusive and endangered manatee, the cow of the sea, that migrate to the warm waters produced by the Tampa Electric Company facilities. The Big Bend Station and the Manatee Viewing Center observation points are visited by over a million tourists each year, boosting the tourist industry. The latter features an Environmental Education building that teaches about the manatee’s biological characteristics and habitat. A self-guided nature trail displays tidal flatlands, Mangroves, one of the Florida’s native trees and an important part of her ecology and economy.
Other attractions, such as abundant year-round art galleries, museums and fine dining—as well as big events like the Manatee Arts Festival that features arts and crafts and exhibitors from across the nation—offer a welcome balance to the sun and sand experience. With a population of less than 8,000, the wide range of media including painting, sculpture, woodworking, photography, jewelry making, a Young-at-Art exhibit and competition, a Culinary Arts Competition, and a variety of musical-entertainment venues, do put this place on the map when it comes to cultural appreciation and creativity.
The true test of allegiance, however, is in the numbers. Over thirty-five beautifully manicured golf landscapes lie with 15 miles of downtown!
