I was working in Tampa for six weeks last fall. Mike and I went to Key West for the weekend and had some great snorkeling (and the snorkeling was really inexpensive too). There were some good local fish stores, especially over in St. Pete. Just interesting to compare livestock selection, etc.

For local restaurants, one of my favorites was a locally franchised BBQ place called Lee Roy Selmon's, excellent southern cooking. We ate there several times and everything we tried was absolutely amazing!
