A week at the beach on the West Coast of Florida led me to explore some towns like Safety Harbor and Dunedin, while making pit stops in Tampa and St. Pete.

Eager to get out of Orlando for something new? I'm sharing more fun spots to try when you visit Tampa including coffee, sweets, and different cuisines for all the eating your stomach can handle in a day trip.

Here’s to more trips to Tampa. Check out the Hall on Franklin, Armature Works also known as Heights Public Market, and Fancy Free Nursery.
