WEST/NORTHWEST
Tampa
If you head out toward the west/northwest, your wanderlust will lead you to Tampa--the western paradise of Florida. From the thrill of the rides at Busch Gardens to the Florida Aquarium and Museum of Science and Industry, the things to do in Tampa are just as diverse as its people. See the beauty of the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico, enjoy live music over Tampa Bay, or catch some rays at one of the famous white sand beaches in nearby Clearwater or St. Pete.
