Things To Do
St. Pete Pier
One of our favorite things to do when we go to downtown St. Pete is walk down the Pier, enjoy those waterfront views, and maybe even spy some dolphins!
St. Pete Beach
This beach stretches for miles and is lined with plenty of spots to park, eat, and enjoy the warm weather and soft sand :) This is also the beach where Ado proposed!
Armature Works
A social hall full of spunk and delicious food options, located alongside downtown Tampa’s river walk, where you can relax and eat on their beautiful outdoor lawn area that overlooks the Hillsborough River.
Hyde Park Village
An outdoor plaza with restaurants and shopping. Two of our favorite restaurants, Meat Market and Babushka's, are located here! Buddy Brew, a local coffee company from where we get our coffee beans, has a storefront conveniently located in front of Meat Market, so you can get your pre-dinner coffee fix ;)
University of Tampa
Ado's alma mater! Take a walk around this beautiful campus and then go eat at one of our favorite brunch spots right across the university - Oxford Exchange (note: they do require reservations in advance)!
Bayshore Boulevard
A beautiful waterfront running/walking/cycling path in Tampa! Legend has it that some of the most amazing sunsets can be seen from here! This is also one of the spots that Ado and I took our engagement photos :)
Sparkman Wharf
A mini wharf in the heart of downtown Tampa where you can enjoy drinks and upscale street food on their beautiful waterfront lawn :)
Anna Maria Island Beach
A beach known for having some of Florida's whitest and most soft sand!
University Town Center
Has both an outdoor shopping plaza and an indoor shopping mall! We love to go get brunch at Pura Vida Miami :)
Whiskey Joe's
One of our favorite places by our house to get both the beach and a sunset! Oftentimes we like to pair this with a trip to American Honey Creamery, a local ice cream shop right across the street from our community :)
