Located about an hour south of Tampa and Saint Petersburg we consider this town to be a hidden gem! The town’s motto is “where urban amenities meet small-town living” meaning you get the best of both worlds here. This sleepy beach town has tons to explore as well!
From the headquarters of Ringling Circus to Siesta Key Beach one of the top beaches in Florida to Myakka River State Park one of the oldest and largest state parks, to the Jungle Gardens a mix between a zoo and botanical garden or Celery Fields on the Great Birding Trail in Florida there is plenty to do!
This is the perfect place if you are in the mood for seafood from al fresco outdoor spots to upscale restaurants you can find most of the dining centered around downtown or St. Armands Circle!
