Our Day in South Tampa
The first stop in South Tampa was Hyde Park Village–there’s literally something for everyone, no matter what you’re looking for! We could have spent all day here, but we made sure to stop by Canvas Fashion Gallery, Leafy Luv Affair, and finally The Hyppo for a cool treat.
We headed over to Salt Shack On The Bay for lunch, which combines great food, a great atmosphere, and great views! We would highly recommend coming at sunset to catch some gorgeous views over the water! Everything we got tasted amazing and was all incredibly fresh.
We had to make a stop in SOHO, so we went to Corner Bar for some late afternoon drinks! They have a ton of shaded outdoor seating and TVs, so it’s the perfect spot to catch a game. Plus, they have trivia on Tuesdays!
How could you end a day in South Tampa without taking a short walk down Bayshore Boulevard? Whether you’re going for a run, walking your dog, or even just imagining which house you’d want to live in the most, Bayshore Boulevard is a Tampa Bay staple, and it was the perfect way to complete our South Tampa experience!
South Tampa has an array of options when it comes to restaurants. Explore local bites up and down the streets of Soho and Hyde Park Village, or just hop in your car and drive down Kennedy.
Shop ‘Til You Drop
South Tampa is home to many local boutiques that we find ourselves spending hours at! Some of our personal favorites include A Haley, Hazel and Dot, and The Look.
Wear Comfy Shoes
South Tampa is one of the best place to walk from place to place, with everything so close on Howard Street and Hyde Park Village you will can do everything from drink to eat to shop within walking distance.
Bring Your Camera

Go Bar Hopping
There are so many great bars to check out in South Tampa. There are plenty to choose from, from rooftops to sports bars, even a speakeasy for a fun day or night out. We recommend checking out South Howard since everything is near each other.
