Cómo moverse
Walk & bike friendly
As always, be careful crossing the street but the River Walk & Bayshore are very walk/bike/run friendly. I love to walk on Bayshore (the longest continuous sidewalk in the nation) in the morning and look out for schools of stingrays and baby sharks!
Cómo moverse
Uber
Uber is a fast & effective way to visit most attractions since our home is no more than 20 minutes drive from nearly all Tampa hot spots!
Qué empacar
Walking shoes
Don’t forget to pack walking shoes so you can enjoy Bayshore, the nations longest sidewalk as well as the River Walk.
Qué empacar
Florida is tropical
