Tampa and Golf Retirement at Cypress Lakes 

“Go West Young Man” as Horace Greeley would say and less than an hour away from Cypress Lakes is Tampa Bay. This region includes Tarpon Springs, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Ybor all of which have numerous unique cultural, educational, and other entertaining annual events.

Tampa’s airport is convenient for those wishing to travel between primary and secondary homes or just fly off on that vacation. It is ranked No. 3 among mid-sized airports by J.D. Powers. Says J.D Power: "Tampa performs particularly well in the terminal facilities and baggage claim factors." Tampa International got top marks in overall satisfaction and 4 out of 5 marks in accessibility, check-in and security.

The Tampa Bay region includes attractions that you don’t find just anywhere, Big Cat Rescue, sponge diving, pirate invasions and for those with a historical bent there are re-enactments, Ybor and the Henry Plant museum.

• Culture, award wining productions at the Straz
• Beaches for those who want fun in the sun or fishing on the flats
