Clearwater Beach Look, “White Lives Matter” is a soft stance. However, nothing beats the soft white sands of Clearwater Beach. Sure, experts may say being racist isn’t synonymous with being bi-polar, but dipping your toes in the waves after a long day of standing on a big ass globe IS synonymous with this award-winning patch of sugary sand!

The St. Pete Pier Was it dumb to think “slavery is a choice?” Absolutely. But not spending a day at the beautiful St. Pete Pier certainly is a choice. Frolic on the popular Glazer playground, grab a bite to eat at Pier Teaki, and soak in the skyline while you think about how not that long ago the entire pier and nearby Spa Beach was completely off limits to Black people. What a time to be alive!

Explore Tampa Bay’s hiking trails As of now, it looks like Raymond James isn’t even half full for the Sunday show. But sometimes being alone is great! Summer is easily one of the best times to explore Tampa Bay’s popular hiking trails without all the crowds! Not even immense public outcry over antisemitic remarks can stop you from enjoying some quality bird watching at Weedon Island Preserve.
