A year-round vacation destination

That said, the weather is perfectly suited to long, lazy days at the beach, cooling down in the ocean, and exploring the little boutiques and museums in nearby Tampa. Throughout the rest of the year, the temperature is dry, sunny, and bright, with winter attracting the snowbirds eager for some of that famous Florida sun.
