City advice
What to pack
Prepare for tropical weather!
Florida is a tropical state! Be prepared for hot and sunny weather with sunscreen, warm and muggy weather with bug spray, and rainy weather with an umbrella! The rain never lasts long, so if you’re at a beach, find shelter for an hour, then enjoy the empty beach!
Don't miss
Sunsets on the beach
Tampa is on the West coast of Florida, which means we get the best sunset views! Catch as many as you can while visiting.
