About the Port of Tampa

Tampa Bay is full of water, sand and sunshine. You will also find an area that is alive with arts, sports, parades and celebrations. Tampa's semi-tropical climate invites you to enjoy the great outdoors year-round.
Tampa Bay's weather, accented by warm sunshine and cool bay breezes, provides the perfect backdrop for tourism and for your vacation. Lush, exotic foliage flourishes throughout the area, filling the surrounding scenery with brilliant colors and intoxicating scents.

Loose, lightly colored clothing is recommended for daytime activities; a lightweight jacket or sweater is a good choice for the evening, especially for activities on or near the water. Comfortable walking shoes will help make the experience at the area's numerous attractions and shopping malls a pleasant one. Sunscreen rated SPF 15 or higher is also a must for visitors of all ages.

Tampa Bay is a vibrant waterfront area on Florida's beautiful West Coast and offers a unique blend of urban excitement in a natural surrounding. Tampa Bay is ideally located on Florida's West Coast, and features miles of glistening waterways and sandy shorelines. Its central location provides easy access to the nearby Gulf beaches and surrounding areas. Tampa's waterfront consists of both Hillsborough Bay and Tampa Bay, as well as the beautiful Hillsborough and Alafia rivers and several area lakes.
