WHAT SETS IT APART: Safety Harbor is almost hidden in giant old mossy oak groves ... that is, until you make your way to Upper Tampa Bay and then, pow! The Spanish-style, historic Safety Harbor Resort & Spa and waterfront panorama remind you that you are indeed in the Sunshine State. Offshore, stroll by eateries and businesses in restored bungalows. RECENT BUZZ: A 17-foot-tall garden gnome, Gnomeo, greets visitors at the Folly Farms Nature Preserve. WHERE TO PLAY: The Safety Harbor Art & Music Center features live music, poetry and art events between mirror-mosaic walls. Or giggle inside the ticky-tacky Whimzeyland, aka the “bowling ball house.” Locals gather monthly for the Third Friday evening street fest. WHAT LOCALS KNOW: Shop till you drop at eclectic gift shops like Tupelo on 4th or the Safety Harbor Market on Main that pops up every Sunday. Safety Harbor VISITSPC .COM 47
