Tampa Bay aerial view

Tampa Bay, United States

Florida's Gulf Coast gathers around Tampa Bay, where Tampa's Riverwalk, Cuban-rooted Ybor City and the new Water Street district face the museums, marina and waterfront parks of downtown St. Petersburg across the water. Add the white-sand barrier beaches of St. Pete Beach and Clearwater, a century of grand pink hotels and a thriving food scene, and the bay makes a polished, sunny alternative to Miami.
