Attractions in the surroundings (up to 30 miles):
The beaches of the region are the jewels of the gulf coast (e. g. Fort de Soto Park has been voted to one of the best beaches of the USA 2005). If enjoying the sun, going for a long walk or walking along the 34 mile Pinellas Trails, riding the bycicle or going inline skating... lots of activities are possible. You can go canoeing, can rent boats and jetskis for observing dolphins (at the beach or with a guided tour). A lot of museums (Salvadore Dali, Heritage Village, Museum of Science & Industry,...). We especially recommend the fun park Bush Gardens in Tampa. Besides various rounds in the roller coaster and shows the fun park offers a wunderful animal park. Additionally, a water slide park (Adventure Island), some zoos (e. g. Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa) and lots of Aqua parks and botanical gardens are reachable.
