Looking for things to do in Tampa/St Petersburg/Clearwater area, within a couple hours drive. We are not interested in Disney, as this trip is to celebrate my 40th and will only be DH and myself. TIA!

Not sure what you are interested in but the Salvador Dali museum is in St. Pete. It is really cool

There is also a bayfront area with restaurants, shops, etc. in St. Pete

When are you going?

Tarpon Springs is one of my favorite places. It's a Greek, sponge diving community...kind of a quiet place, but several things to do. I love wandering around, checking out the shops and finding a nice place to eat. There's a very small museum, boat rides, and sponge diving *expeditions*. Check it out. It's a little north of Clearwater.

Thank you both! I'll check the information out.

We arrive on the 15th. I'm just praying the weather will be a lot nicer than it has been down there! After all, I'm trying to escape snow!

We have stayed at a timeshare in Crystal Beach on A-19, south of Tarpon Springs. There is a really neat place to eat called the Lucky Dill at 2800 N. Alternate 19, Palm Harbor. Get a Tampa Bay Times(free) & look for the Lucky Dill's ad. They have various specials throughout the week. Lots of delicious food & desserts at very reasonable prices.

Don’t know if you interested in thrift shops, but there is a nice Hospice Resale shop in Tarpon Springs Hospice Resale Shop

Enjoy your visit.

So, what did you do...where did you go? Fill us in!
