Tampa Bay Retreat
Things To Do
The best of Tampa Bay, curated for our guests
World-class beaches, minutes away
Tampa Bay puts you within easy reach of some of Florida's most celebrated stretches of white sand and turquoise Gulf water.
Clearwater Beach
Consistently ranked one of the best beaches in the US — wide white sand, calm warm water, and a lively beachfront strip with restaurants and shops.
Local tip: Arrive before 10 AM on weekends to snag a prime spot.
St. Pete Beach
A quieter, more laid-back alternative to Clearwater with equally stunning Gulf views and a charming local vibe.
Local tip: Don't miss sunset from the Postcard Inn — it's spectacular.
Caladesi Island State Park
An unspoiled barrier island accessible only by ferry or kayak. One of Florida's last truly wild beaches.
Local tip: Take the ferry from Honeymoon Island — runs daily.
Fort De Soto Park
A 1,136-acre park with five interconnected islands, pristine beaches, a historic fort, and excellent bird watching.
Local tip: The north beach is the best swimming spot in the park.
