Things to Do in Safety Harbor, Safety Harbor, Florida

Well, I needed a getaway. I was in Dallas for almost six weeks and was starting to go stir crazy! While I was hopeful to sneak in an international hiking trip, I just couldn’t get an affordable one organized in a short time, so I retraced my steps to Safety Harbor, Florida.

In 2022, during my jaunt around the southeast, and mostly Florida, I made a brief visit to Safety Harbor. I intended to stay a few days, but the warm March temperatures for me and Annie in VANgo coupled with horses coming back into my life, curtailed our adventures. I guess that’s the beauty of having a mobile home, or more specifically a Sprinter in my case…you can come and go.

So, we left, but I always thought I’d like to visit the area again. Fast forwarding to January in 2024, I visited again. This time on a girls’ trip with three friends from the south of Florida joining me. Ironically, it was not too hot. In fact, it was ridiculously cold! 

I had so much fun fishing in Loreto and kayaking in the Everglades, I had hoped to include both activities in Safety Harbor, while also exploring the cute downtown, tasting the local cuisine, soaking in the history, enjoying the arts and more. Though the weather kept us off the water, at least it was warmer than Texas, and we found plenty of other things to do in Safety Harbor and the Tampa Bay Area. ......
