Shhhhh……don’t tell anyone, but this is the best destination in Florida.

The best beach in America is here (Fort DeSoto State Park, rated #1 in the yearly survey by Dr. Beach), the 4th best beach is also here (Caladesi Island State Park), there is a world famous theme park (Busch Gardens), auto racing’s Indy League whizzes through the streets at 170 miles per hour during the Honda Grand Prix race, there are world class restaurants (Bern’s steakhouse has been called the best steakhouse in America), world class shopping (Neiman Marcus leads the pack), one of the hottest night life districts you'll find anywhere (Ybor City is crammed full of clubs and bars) and there are three professional sports teams (the Buccaneers, Lightning, and Rays), and two airports (Tampa International and St Pete Clearwater International) offering you a greater choice of flights. Did I mention golf? Just look! You can find all of that here in the Tampa Bay area. What you won’t find are the crowds of South Beach or Orlando. Substance without the stampede.

The STREETWISE® Tampa Map is actually a combination of several maps to help you get a better understanding of the area:

First there is an area map, the Tampa/Clearwater/St Petersburg Area Map that encompasses the entire Tampa Bay region, from the Sunshine Skyway south of St. Petersburg, north to Tarpon Springs, and east to Interstate 75. This map includes all major highways and exit numbers, major streets and thoroughfares, airports, sites and county lines.

(Map A) is a map of the St. Petersburg area. More detailed than the regional map, this map of the Clearwater/St Petersburg peninsula and barrier islands includes more streets and access roads. Hotels, sites, and parks are indicated on the map. Names of individual beaches are also marked as well as the Pinellas Trail, a 34 mile safe biking trail connecting the north and south part of Pinellas County.

(Map B) is a close up view of Clearwater Beach and Downtown Clearwater. (Map C) is a close up view of Downtown St Petersburg from Interstate 275 out to the Pier, home of restaurants and the Pier Aquarium. Sites such as Tropicana Field, the Salvador Dali Museum and the Museum of Fine Art are clearly marked as well as hotels, educational sites, shopping and parks.

(Map D) covers the Tampa Area from MacDill Air Force Base north to Citrus Park, from the Courtney Campbell Causeway east to Interstate 75 and Brandon. Hotels, shopping, sites, educational sites, government sites, Tampa International Airport and points of interest are all included on this map. Street numbers are listed for major thoroughfares enabling you to easily find addresses.

(Map E) is a close up view of Downtown Tampa. Here you’ll find details on Channelside, Hyde Park Village shopping area, Ybor City and the Tampa Convention Center. The expressways that weave in and out of downtown Tampa are highlighted in yellow and include clearly defined exit and entrance ramps. If you’re going to visit the Tampa Museum of Art, this is the map you’ll need. The cruise terminal and train station are clearly marked. Hotels, educational sites, points of interest, and governmental sites are placed on the map.

Our pocket size map of Tampa is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use.

Product Description:
By the late nineteenth century, the city of Tampa was a vibrant cultural center. Through the early twentieth century, two World Wars, and into the modern era, Tampa has continued to grow and prosper by overcoming adversity and maintaining the strong independent culture of its citizens.


This volume, Historic Photos of Tampa, captures this journey through still photography from the Burgett Brothers Photographic Archives held at the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library. From the late 1800s, the Depression era, and to the building of a modern metropolis, Historic Photos of Tampa follows life, government, education and events throughout Tampa's rich history.


The book captures unique and rare scenes through the lens of hundreds of historic photographs. Published in striking black and white, the images communicate historic events and everyday life of two centuries of people building a unique and prosperous city.

Product Description:
This easy-to-use book is packed with practical information and enticing facts that make it fun to read: "Sarasota owes its development and artistic reputation to, ironically, the circus, which wintered there beginning in the late 1800s. In contrast to circus raucousness, however, John Ringling was a man swayed by esthetics. The art he loved had a bit of three-ring showiness to it, nonetheless, as shown by the baroque Italianate palace he built himself in Sarasota." A clean, attractive layout makes it easy to find what you're looking for within each of the book's six sections, whether it be suggestions for finding the best food, lodging, kayaking, fishing, or shopping; even driving directions are included.
