The Yeungling brewery is just a few blocks away and run tours most days.
Or head north to the outlet centre
West to Clearwater
St Petes for the Baseball
Drive over the Sunshine Skyway to AMI and sit on the Rod and Reel Pier

Have lunch at the original Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City. The building is a work of art inside and the food is wonderful.

We always enjoy Columbia; a visit on all our trips.

As above, the original is in Ybor City if you decide to do that.

However, if you decide to do a beach, there is also a Columbia in Clearwater in a great spot at Sand Key with views over the water of the Bay/Intercoastal.

It's a bit of a drive but as someone else said, I would go to Anna Maria Island. Just spent a week there last month.
