Things to do on Florida’s Gulf Coast with Kids

It is no mystery to many Florida’s Gulf Coast is a beautiful place to visit with wonderful weather.  We were lucky enough to spend 5 weeks in this area after our first child. This afforded us with the opportunity to hit up every town in that area: Clearwater, Tampa Bay, St. Pete’s, Dunedin, Tarpon Springs, New Port Richey, Hudson and Indian Rock to name just a few.

We found ourselves quite surprised by the diverse options of places to explore.  Quite often, none of these activities required a theme park admission and many of them included exploring Florida’s beautiful natural outdoors.  If you’re looking for kid-friendly activities in Florida’s Gulf Coast, consider our suggestions below.
