Things to Do in West Central Florida?

West Central Florida is a great vacation place because you can experience a big-city vacation in Tampa/St. Pete or spend your time outdoors basking on award-winning beaches and exploring the rivers and springs.

Family on Beach Plan your visit to Anna Marie Island for some of the prettiest white sand beaches in central Florida. This barrier island has not been over-developed, which means you can experience almost untouched Florida nature. There are plenty of outdoor adventures to choose from like dolphin boat tours, hiking, or paddle boarding.

Visit Dunedin to experience what the residents call central Florida’s small town with big city amenities. Visit Caladesi Island State Park and Honeymoon Island State Park to experience two of central Florida’s all-natural and undeveloped Florida beaches. Plan a hike or bike ride down the Pinellas Trail, to experience a unique walk-able and bike-able green space connecting Dunedin to Tarpon Springs and St. Pete. Or spend time strolling through Dunedin’s quaint village of charming restaurants, bars, and shops.

Plan your Siesta Key vacation and relax on Siesta Beach which was ranked #1 beach in the U.S. in 2020 by TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice Awards. Siesta Key beaches are known for their fluffy quartz crystal and are powdery white. There are plenty of beach-side taverns with great seafood, unique boutiques for shopping, and lots of outdoor activities to choose from.

Visit St. Pete / Clearwater and experience a vibrant arts scene, beautiful beaches, and a plethora of excellent casual and luxury dining. Plan a visit to the Salvador Dali Museum or experience a night of theater at one of the waterfront parks. Or, plan a nature adventure at Brooker Creek Preserve or Weedon Island Preserve.

Plan your Tampa Bay vacation and experience a perfect combination of big city fun and Florida nature. Plan a family trip to Bush Gardens Theme Park or the Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park. Or, plan a beach day and relax in the sun. Be sure to visit Tampa Riverwalk and experience a 2.6-mile path teeming with some of central Florida’s best culture and entertainment.
