TAMPA BAY/ST. PETE

Nonstop service from MidAmerica St. Louis Airport on Allegiant Airlines makes it easy to call Tampa your next vacation destination.

There’s something for everyone on Florida’s West Coast. From golf, nightlife, watersports and beaches, the Tampa and St. Pete/Clearwater region has something for everyone. Busch Gardens, the Florida Aquarium, and the Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center offer fun for kids and those still kids at heart. And you can’t miss award-winning beaches like Treasure Island and Clearwater Beach. Powder-soft sand, emerald water, and all the piers, cabanas, and umbrellas that go with them . . . it’s a wonderful way to spend a day, or a week.

Visitors and locals alike can bike, run, and explore the Tampa Riverwalk, which offers a smooth, 2.4 mile path through downtown Tampa’s favorite attractions, all along the stunning Hillsborough River. Not to be outdone, in 2020, St. Pete Pier District opened along 26 acres of Tampa Bay waterfront, making it an ideal destination for families, bikers, rollerbladers, and those in the mood to lounge.

From water parks to zip lines, beaches to museums, however you like to vacation, it’s clear(water) that Florida’s West Coast has what you’re looking for.
