Tampa
Few places in Florida have a history as closely tied to the cigar industry as Tampa. The city grew into a major cigar-making centre after Vicente Martínez Ybor moved his operation here in the 1880s; Ybor City remains its best-known historic district. Tampa occupies the shore of Tampa Bay, a broad Gulf Coast estuary, while the Hillsborough River runs through the city to the bay. Downtown combines the Riverwalk, museums and arenas with the port, whose cargo and cruise operations still underline Tampa’s connection to the water. Across the metropolitan area, neighbourhoods range from the brick streets and social clubs of Ybor City to commercial districts around the bay.

Tampa sits on Tampa Bay on Florida’s Gulf Coast, where the Hillsborough River enters a broad estuary. Downtown combines office towers and museums with the Tampa Riverwalk, a waterfront route linking public parks, the convention center and central districts. Northeast of downtown, Ybor City grew into a major cigar-manufacturing center after Cuban, Spanish and Italian workers arrived in the late 19th century; brick factory buildings and social clubs still define the neighborhood. The historic TECO Line Streetcar connects Ybor City with Channelside and downtown. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Tampa Bay relates to Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
