A Look at Tampa Bay’s Beaches
Coming to Tampa? Well then you need to make sure you visit one of the amazing nearby beaches during your trip. Whether you are traveling to Tampa on business, pleasure or a bit of both, a visit to the beach is a must!
Although the city of Tampa itself is not on the beach, it is surrounded by great beaches in St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Dunedin. Depending on what you are looking for, you can find a beautiful beach to visit while you are here.
Need to hit the beach immediately after you get off the plane? Hey, we understand, and from our Tampa Airport rental car location you are in close proximity to both Clearwater and St Pete Beaches. Which you choose depends entirely on you.
Clearwater Beaches: Best known for its white sand beaches and beautiful ‘clear’ water, Clearwater Beach is about 20 miles from the Tampa International Airport. Many visitors keep busy boating, parasailing, kiteboarding, jet skiing or simply sunbathing along the beautiful stretch of beach. You can also enjoy guided dolphin tours to catch a glimpse some of the amazing dolphin pods that frequent the Gulf of Mexico.
With your cheap Tampa rental car from EZ-Rent A Car, you can also easily visit the famous Pier 60, named for Florida State Road 60 which ends there. It is an iconic beach scene filled with vendors, performers, lots of special events and some fantastic people watching.
St. Petersburg Beaches: St. Pete Beach is also about 20 miles from our Tampa Airport rental car location and offers an average of 361 days of sunshine per year. That’s a record which is pretty hard to beat! The gulf waters are warm a good part of the year and have a very low surf, making this beach particularly family friendly.
The beach strip offers something for everyone. You can visit Treasure Island and St. Pete Beach that have a fun party vibe: full of hotels, restaurants and beach bars. And there is also the more quite and pristine Pass-A-Grille and Indian Rocks Beach that provide a beach retreat for families and those just wanted to enjoy the natural beauty.
No matter what you are looking for, or what your preferred beach ‘flavor’ is, one thing is for sure, any trip to Tampa would not be complete without a visit to one of our beautiful beaches!
