There are lots of activities year-round in the different parts of the Tampa Bay area especially on weekends. With this in mind, you will have no trouble finding something to do.

St Petersburg is a very friendly city with as we stated above plenty to do.
One thing that those who live and work in the Tampa/St Petersburg area hate with a passion is the drive over the Howard Franklin Bridge. It is a nightmare plain and simple especially at evening rush hour which starts after 3 in the afternoon. At least people claim the reason they do attend Rays baseball games in person is because they do not want to drive over the bridge. In breaking it down it is one the worst if not worst drives on the Continent.
