Living And Vacationing In Tampa Florida Is Wonderful

By Jony Mozen


Many people work all their lives so that they are able to settle down and retire in a beautiful place where they can enjoy the rest of their lives. Ones such place whether one is retiring or not is Tampa Florida. It is near the Gulf of Mexico and the last survey that was taken in 2011 there were over three hundred and forty six million people living there.

With the international airport and the sea ports close by this place is easily accessible and one of the most popular places that many visit in Florida. The total area is one hundred and twelve square miles of land and about fifty eight square miles of water. The highest point about the sea is only fifteen metres and this City is in-between two bodies of water.

This is a place where they have some kind of festival nearly every weekend. These range from the Sunset Music Festival to the Tampapolooza as well as the Tamp Bay Margarita Festival. There is always a large variety of foods to choose from and the music is just great. Many people will take a chair and a big hat and just sit on their lawns watching the festivals up and down the streets.

The architecture with most of the high rises and the renovated Tamp Museum of Art are post-modern while the city hall and the theatre are of the Art Deco. There are a few skyscrapers and about eighteen of the completed ones rise up to about seventy six metres. The tallest building in this city is the 100 North Tampa which has forty two floors and is one hundred and seventy six metres in height.

They have three major league sports teams whether one is into football, baseball or hockey. There will never be a dull moment with no action available. The crowds are always ready to cheer their favourite team and there is good sportsmanship between everyone.

Another place to visit is the Cypress Point Park. It is only about a fifteen minute drive from Ybor and entrance is free. There are paved jogging or walking trails as well as an eighteen hole golf course. Their restrooms are clean and have showers and changing rooms and another nice thing is that there are water fountains inside as well.

Hillsborough is one of the original parks and was created in 1938. The river is known to have a few small rapids. Also in the park is the Fort Foster which was built in the middle eighteen hundreds during the Second Seminole war. Tours are taken to the fort on certain weekends and there are many artefacts on display.

In the parks one will be able to spot Red Shouldered Hawks as well as Sandhill Cranes and some Alligators. On the walks there is a suspension bridge and beautifully kept walkways next to the river. Many people love to paddle down the river to see the lush surroundings.
