As most are aware, “snowbirds” as they are referred to have flocked to the FL coastline for decades to escape the drastic Northern winters, however have you ever wondered where it is that they travel to? I used to think that everyone when to Miami or Daytona, now, I recently l acquired that numerous travel to locales along the gulf coast instead.
This is truly because there is less of a threat of horrible storms hitting that area, but, either way, I wanted to suppose what those locations had to offer.
I started searching online for odd communities as well as travel sites. I found that an identifiable area, or areas kept coming up in my search. Most of them were somehow connected to the Tampa Bay area. There were outlying areas such as Clearwater but most of the exciting stuff I found was in the Tampa area. It seems that there is a truly eclectic mix of people in that area that enjoy the same sort of laid back lifestyle. It is enjoy living in a tropical paradise while enjoying all the amenities of village life at the same time. Tampa his a large village with a population of nearly 400,000 people, yet, the straight-forward living attitude still survives, and after a day of work, if not retired, you can relax by the water, take in a show, dine at a single of the numerous diners or relax with friends at a local brewery or night spot. Life, according to everything I have read, moves at a slower pace in Tampa. I have pretty much decided that I need to visit the area to see for myself if all of this is true.
