Tampa Bay is the largest open-water estuary in Florida. Ponce de Leon
began his search for the Fountain of Youth just south of Tampa Bay.
Today, Tampa Bay promises ageless adventure as it touches Tampa,
St. Petersburg and Clearwater, and 35 white sand beaches on barrier
islands along the Gulf of Mexico. Come and enjoy the sunsets!
