Part of Florida's west coast, Tampa Bay has some of the best beaches in the world. Travellers booking flights to Tampa can plan a holiday combining trips to the beaches, the lakes and the Hillsborough River, or spend their entire trip in and on the water: snorkelling, diving, sailing, fresh or saltwater fishing, kayaking, or just napping on the beach.
So it’s not surprising that Tampa Bay also surrounds one of Florida's largest estuaries and has an abundance of water fowl. Some of the magnificent birds that are seen every day in Tampa are threatened species. The area is also a wildlife haven and has several nature parks and refuges. The well-known Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is home to one of Florida's largest destinations for West Indian Manatees. And, of course, Busch Gardens in Tampa is home to more than 35 endangered species and is well-known for its breeding programmes.
For those avid golfers booking Tampa flights, there are also golf courses, and lots of them. Tampa Bay has a golf course for every budget and skill level.
