    Thanks so much for watching 😊 what do you think, would you want to visit Safety Harbor?
    And if you are at all interested in gear, how do you think our new camera did in the wind at the pier? We were really impressed!

    You guys always recommend the most amazing coffee houses, restaurants and breweries. I'm beginning to think that Florida is the land of good beer and food! It all looks so delicious...the "you had me at bacon" sandwich, the nachos and tacos you had for dinner and of course, the yummy beer. I can't believe there is a beer that tastes like sour patch kids! The vibrant art scene in Safety Harbor is so unique and that huge live oak tree is so beautiful. The city truly is a hidden gem.

    • @Explorcation

    Love that tree at 5:40! It looks incredible, good to see it’s protected.

    Safety harbour looks so nice and local, so different to all the big chain businesses we’re used to seeing in Florida.

    I would definitely visit Safety Harbour! Looks like a beautiful spot by the water but not a beach day - which my husband would approve of 🤣. Those beers sounded interesting, I've never had a sour patch flavoured one before. The art installations seemed really cool. And that second brewery seemed great with the kitty waiter 🤣. I love cats. That Mexican food looked great 👍

    • @Explorcation

  • @tawnykc83
    @tawnykc83 Před 2 lety +1

    When I think of the Tampa Bay area, I just think of Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater but your videos have opened my eyes to other cities and towns in the area. I was so surprised to see Portuguese bread on the menu at The Sandwich Shop on Main (I hope I got the name right). The city where I live up north has a very heavy Portuguese influence with over 40% of the population being of Portuguese descent (myself included). I'm sure there are other cities in the US that have a Portuguese population but I haven't come across one in my travels or watching CZcams videos. The food at the last restaurant you went to looked so good! My mom is obsessed with trees so she would LOVE that oak tree.

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  Před 2 lety +1

      Yeah, I don't think you're alone in having only thought of those three cities. We have been exploring the area for a couple years now and still are discovering new places all the time! I never knew that a city in America existed with 40% Portuguese decent. That's pretty amazing! I'm not sure we've ever experienced Portuguese bread, but next time I see it on a menu, we will surely try it! There used to be a Portuguese restaurant in St. Pete when we first moved here, but unfortunately it closed down during COVID. I'm not sure how large of a Portuguese population we have here, but I'd sure love it if we had more Portuguese food options around! And we loved that oak tree. It was huge and amazing!

    Pretty good video, but you missed a few key attractions (I live in Safety Harbor). Philippe Park, Sips Wine Bar, Gigglewaters, the Safety Harbor Spa, BarFly, Folly Farm, a few of some of the storefronts on Main. A quick mention of these places instead of so much walking on the boardwalk would have been nice. But again, pretty good video. And nice to see so much of Whimzeyland and SHAMC. Thanks!
