St. Petersburg, FL
St. Petersburg sits across Tampa Bay from Tampa itself on its own peninsula, and the Salvador Dalí Museum, which relocated to a purpose-built waterfront building in 2011, holds one of the largest collections of the surrealist artist's work outside Europe, an unusual cultural anchor for a mid-sized Gulf Coast city. The city has built a genuine reputation for public art and murals beyond just the Dalí Museum, with an extensive citywide mural program and the Chihuly Collection, a permanent gallery of Dale Chihuly's blown glass sculptures, reinforcing St. Petersburg's identity as one of the more art-focused cities in the entire Tampa Bay region. St. Petersburg's downtown waterfront, anchored by a chain of connected parks along Tampa Bay, has undergone substantial redevelopment over the past two decades, transforming what had been a quieter, more retiree-oriented downtown into one of the more active urban cores anywhere on Florida's Gulf Coast. St. Petersburg's combination of a world-class Dalí collection, a genuinely significant public art and mural program, and a substantially redeveloped downtown waterfront has made it one of the more culturally distinctive cities anywhere in the greater Tampa Bay metropolitan area.
VS
Apollo Beach, FL
Apollo Beach sits on Tampa Bay south of the city, developed substantially around an extensive network of man-made canals that give a large share of the community's homes direct boat access to the bay, a waterfront-lot density unusual for a suburb this close to a major metro area's core. The community sits directly adjacent to the Tampa Electric Company's Big Bend Power Station, whose warm water discharge canal has become an unlikely wildlife attraction — manatees gather there by the hundreds during winter months, drawn to the artificially warmed water, and the utility company has built a public manatee viewing center specifically to accommodate visitors drawn to the seasonal gathering. Apollo Beach's canal-front development pattern has made it a particularly popular choice for boating enthusiasts specifically seeking direct water access from their own property, a lifestyle draw distinct from the more inland, golf-course-oriented planned communities found elsewhere in the Tampa suburbs. Apollo Beach's combination of extensive canal-front boating access and its unexpected role as a major winter manatee gathering site has made it one of the more distinctively waterfront-oriented suburbs anywhere in the greater Tampa Bay metropolitan area.
