Airport Busch Gardens Gulf of Mexico Sunshine S k y way 0 4 miles 0 4 km From scenic peninsulas to barrier islands like Fort De Soto Park—known for its two fishing piers and a beach rated among America's best by Dr. Beach—to a Treasure Island rich in beauty and St. Pete's pre- Columbian native shell mounds, the casual west coast of Florida is full of delightful surprises. Local color isn't only in the past—Tampa during Gasparilla Season paints fade-proof memories. Where else do 56 krewes of pirates host events in the name of their city's last great buccaneer? Or hop on pirate cruises like they do in Clearwater and St. John's Pass? The internationally influenced Ybor City also has its own traditions, from cultural festivals to its historic La Setima district. Clearwater's Pier 60 takes the spotlight any day of the week around sunset, and the International Plaza and Bay Street right near the airport are showstoppers for shoppers. Finally, Busch Gardens ® and the Museum of Science & Industry continue adding modern hues to a mental picture of Florida that every gallery needs. 58 | Tampa, St. Petersburg & Clearwater 1 5 2 6 9 7 8 3 4
