Tampa, FL

Beaches, Cuban sandwiches, and a manatee or two.

Tampa is Florida's best-kept secret for locals. Ybor City has free live music and the best Cuban sandwiches in the state. The Riverwalk is 2.6 miles of waterfront for free. Clearwater Beach is 30 minutes away. And from November to March, the manatees show up at Tampa Electric's viewing center — free, and genuinely magical. TECO Manatee Viewing Center in Apollo Beach: free, November through mid-April. Dozens of wild manatees in warm discharge water. No aquarium glass — they're right there. Go on a cold morning for the biggest crowds of manatees.
