The area itself hosts hoards of restaurants, shops and the longest continuous sidewalk in the world - Bayshore Boulevard. In addition, South Tampa is in close proximity to the Yankees training grounds and the Raymond James Stadium, which is home to both the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the NCAA's South Florida Bulls football teams. South Tampa is also known for an excellent educational system - the best in the surrounding areas and one of the best in the state of Florida.
