I’ll say it: Tampa and St. Pete might not be the quietest cities around. We do love our ear-shattering concerts at MidFlorida and cheering at Bolts games. But after the busy past month, a little peace and quiet sounds refreshing. Thankfully, Tampa Bay has some surprisingly serene hideaways for anyone seeking a breather. Here’s a look at the quietest spots around Tampa Bay, as recommended by Earth.fm.
Serene Getaways in Tampa
Riverwalk Sail
While the Riverwalk can be a lively place, it transforms when you’re gliding along the Hillsborough River. There’s something magical about finding peace on the water, where city sounds fade, and only the gentle waves accompany your journey.
Lettuce Lake Regional Park
Escape into 240 acres of natural beauty at Lettuce Lake Regional Park. With winding trails, scenic boardwalks, and an observation tower, this park offers plenty of spots to find your own quiet moment amid the lush surroundings.
Cypress Point Park
For a peaceful waterfront experience, head to Cypress Point Park. Catch a sunset, make a wish on a passing airplane overhead, and enjoy a few moments of tranquility as the city hums in the distance.
Courtney Campbell Trail
Driving across the Courtney Campbell Causeway might feel rushed, but exploring the Trail by foot or bike is a different story. The trail offers a serene escape with beautiful views, fresh breezes, and a calm atmosphere.
Upper Tampa Bay Park
Step back in time with Upper Tampa Bay Park, an Old Florida paradise of mangrove forests, salt and freshwater marshes, and pine flatwoods. Bring a camera or binoculars to spot zebra swallowtail butterflies, bobcats, and even gopher tortoises.
