3 Daughters Brewing

St. Petersburg, FL · Tampa Bay

About

Mike and Leigh Harting started brewing in 2013 to perfect a beer-battered fish recipe, then asked how many pints it would take to put their three daughters through college. The answer turned into one of Florida's largest independent breweries, an 18,000-square-foot warehouse where 42 rotating taps pour across three bars, the concrete one cast in a single piece with the floor. There are no TVs, just game tables built by the founders' grandfather, barrel-aging racks, live music, and the flagship Beach Blonde Ale.

Angry Chair Brewing Breweries

Angry Chair Brewing

Tampa, FL · Tampa Bay

Thrillist crowned this Seminole Heights brewhouse the best in Florida, and the barrel-aged imperial stouts are why people sleep in the parking lot for a release. The taproom runs 24 taps under a sprawling mural of tumbling chairs, with green picnic tables out front and label art from the same hands that paint the cans. Come for a pastry stout aged in bourbon, cognac, or whiskey barrels, stay for the theme nights.

Green Bench Brewing Company Breweries

Green Bench Brewing Company

St. Petersburg, FL · Tampa Bay

The brewery that anchored St. Petersburg's EDGE District, named to VinePair's list of the best in America by a panel of beer pros. The lagers are the reason to come, crisp and built for Florida heat, while the foeders and barrels at sister Webb's City Cellar next door push mixed-culture ferments and wild blends. Pull up a chair in the biergarten under the painted brick mural and the string lights.

Cigar City Brewing Breweries

Cigar City Brewing

Tampa, FL · Tampa Bay

The brewery that put Tampa on the national craft map, pouring since 2009 from the West Spruce Street warehouse where founder Joey Redner first brewed Jai Alai IPA, the citrus-forward house beer now shipped across 39 states. The taproom keeps more than 20 lines flowing, and every March the cult Hunahpu's Day imperial stout draws beer hunters from across the country. Cigar City's stack of Great American Beer Festival medals backs up the reputation, but the real pull is drinking these beers steps from the tanks that made them.

Clearwater Beach Beaches

Clearwater Beach

Clearwater, FL · Tampa Bay

Clearwater's wide ribbon of ultra-fine white quartz sand meets calm, bath-warm Gulf water, with a walkable strip of cafes right behind it. Every evening the free Sunsets at Pier 60 festival fills the sand with buskers and makers before the sky goes pink. It is the easy do-everything Pinellas beach day: park once and stay through sunset.

Siesta Key Beach Beaches

Siesta Key Beach

Sarasota, FL · Tampa Bay

Siesta Key Beach near Sarasota runs on sand that is roughly 99 percent quartz, so fine and white it stays cool underfoot even on a hot afternoon and squeaks as you walk. Spread a towel on the wide flats, swim the calm turquoise Gulf shallows, then ride the free trolley into Siesta Key Village for dinner. Drumming circles draw crowds to the soft sand at sunset.

St. Pete Beach Beaches

St. Pete Beach

St. Pete Beach, FL · Tampa Bay

St. Pete Beach fronts the Gulf with a long ribbon of white sand and some of Florida's most reliable sunsets, all under the pink, 1928 silhouette of the Don CeSar hotel. Swim the warm shallows, walk the quieter sands down at Pass-a-Grille, or join a dolphin watching charter from Merry Pier. Stay through dusk, when the sky over the water turns to color.

Caladesi Island State Park Beaches

Caladesi Island State Park

Dunedin, FL · Tampa Bay

A roadless barrier island off Dunedin, reachable only by the ferry from Honeymoon Island or your own boat, which is exactly why its three miles of powder-white sand stay so quiet. Spread out on the wide Gulf beach, paddle the mangrove kayak trail, and work the shell-strewn flats most day-trippers skip. Just watch the last ferry back, or you are there for the night.

Myakka River State Park Lakes & rivers

Myakka River State Park

Sarasota, FL · Tampa Bay

One of Florida's oldest and largest state parks, Myakka spreads 37,000 acres of wetlands, prairies, and hammocks along the slow Myakka River east of Sarasota. Climb the canopy walkway, the first public treetop trail in North America, suspended 25 feet up with a tower above the oaks, then board one of the giant airboats for an alligator-lined cruise on Upper Myakka Lake. Winter brings cooler air and crowds of wading birds.

Fort De Soto Park Beaches

Fort De Soto Park

Tierra Verde, FL · Tampa Bay

Fort De Soto Park spreads across five connected keys at the mouth of Tampa Bay, pairing nearly three miles of soft white-sand beach with a Spanish-American War coastal fort. Climb the old gun batteries, then cast off the Gulf Pier or paddle the canoe trail through mangroves. Ferries run from here to undeveloped Egmont Key and Shell Key, and the park has its own beach dog park.
