Set on Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast, the city of Tampa enjoys wonderfully sunny weather year-round. The tropical climate is perfectly suited to spending time outside, and visitors will have ample opportunities to do so; the city manages approximately 180 parks that occupy more than 3,500 acres of land. Many of these parks are located on the water, offering plenty of opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and sunbathing, and a good number of them also have paved walking paths, playgrounds, and picnic areas.
