Apollo Beach is located on the central Gulf Coast in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater area of Florida. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay, yet near all the fun and excitement of the Tampa Bay Area, Apollo Beach is for you. A short drive north to the head of the Bay lies the city of Tampa, home to the famous Busch Gardens, Florida Aquarium and the Museum of Science & Industry. On the western shore of the Bay, almost directly across from Apollo Beach is St. Petersburg, with its beautiful waterfront promenade and pyramid-shaped pier. Apollo Beach is located on the less-crowded eastern shore of the Bay. If you're looking for sun and sand, you'll find plenty of both just minutes away from Apollo Beach. The entire stretch of coast from Clearwater to St. Petersburg is like one long beach with several public parks situated along the way. The parks provide lots of opportunities for swimming, fishing, boating, jet skiing, parasailing, beach volleyball and more. Non-beach activities include biking, golf and tennis. Disney World is just about an hour drive from Apollo Beach, and the Sun City Center is five minutes away. So, for the best in relaxation and excitement, consider Apollo Beach for your next Florida vacation.
