The news we have all been waiting for during 4 months of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico finally came yesterday! Efforts to stop the well through what’s called a ‘static kill’ appear to be working—and a report out today by scientists show that the vast majority of the spilled oil has been dispersed or removed from the water. So the long battle to stop the leak and contain the oil is finally close to coming to an end. The relief well should be in place on schedule by mid-August. As we walk along these beautiful beaches of Tampa Bay, we are truly thankful we remained unharmed. http://www.restorethegulf.gov/We have all heard about the impact of the spill on our friends in the panhandle and along that area of the northern gulf coast. Efforts to restore the damage will be going on for a long time. As we see vacationers and home seekers choose our area, it is a mixed blessing. The Tampa Bay barrier island beaches... from Clearwater Beach in the north to St Pete Beach in the south... are among the most beautiful in the country, and always ranked among the top favorites for their environmental efforts as well as their beauty. We love to share its assets as an exceptional destination. Come see for yourself what the beaches of Tampa Bay have to offer!
