When you think of Florida you don’t think of skylines, but Downtown Tampa has one of the nicest in the southeast with a view of Tampa Bay and the Hillsborough River. Visitors and locals alike have plenty of things to do in Tampa like playing the slots at the Hard Rock Casino, or hitting the nightclubs in Ybor City. Wildlife lovers can hit Busch Gardens or the Florida Aquarium at down at the Port of Tampa. The Trolley offers transpiration throughout Tampa so once you get here, you can forget about having to drive around the city.
One of Florida’s unique places is St. Petersburg with its perfect blend of metro and waterfront living. St. Petersburg is home to the Salvador Dali Museum, considered a leader in the Surrealist Movement. Other places worth a visit include Treasure Island and the St. Petersburg Pier.
The sunsets are beautiful along the Gulf Coast, especially at Fort Myers which has been long considered one of safest beaches in the world.
Famous for the calm emerald green seas and white sand, the beaches of Fort Walton Beach are a great place to escape. Many of the resorts offer old style beach chair service.

We recently visited Sarasota as part of our latest additions for PlacesAroundFlorida.com. While visiting Longboat Key we photographed this standoff between two seagulls and a medium sized land crab.
We didn’t interfere and watched as the seagulls eventually figured the crab was more trouble than it was worth.
Since the crab was exposed and away from his hole, we took the opportunity as he posed for a shot before he covered himself, then remained motionless until we left.
