Gulfport is the epitome of a Florida beach town. It’s a very colorful neighborhood, every bungalow that surrounds Downtown Gulfport ranges from pinks to yellows to baby blues–there are even homes mixed in that are painted entirely in murals! So if you want to smile, spend a day in Gulfport.
We had to start our day with some caffeine so we visited the GulfPerk Coffee Bar first. Afterward, we walked over to the Gulfport Brewery + Eatery for drinks! They had a ton of different drinks and beers on tap as well as a huge outdoor seating area. They also have some flagship beers including the Gulfporter and the Gulfport Gold!
Next, for lunch, we went to the Neptune Grill for some authentic Mediterranean and Greek food. If you only get one thing from here, make sure it is the Saganaki!
Finally, don’t skip the “Let It Be” ice cream shop! It’s adorable in there and the delicious ice cream is perfect for when you’re strolling around Beach Boulevard. Gulfport is a fantastic place to spend an afternoon in Tampa Bay and we can’t wait to go back soon!
