Amenities to Love in Zephyrhills!
Every February, people declare their love on Valentine’s Day. But, for us, the love we feel for our community in Zephyrhills goes on all year! While there are many reasons to appreciate the region, we think that Zephyrhills’ amenities are what really makes people swoon! Here is our list of the top 5 amenities (for visitors and residents alike) that will make you fall in love with Zephyrhills, too:
- Location
Technically considered to be a suburb of Tampa, Zephyrhills offers small town cham with the convenience of city life! Located in southeastern Pasco County on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Zephyrhills is also an easy drive from Lakeland, St. Petersburg, and even Orlando! With its close proximity to so many Florida attractions, people come to Zephyrhills for the convenience – and stay for the laid-back lifestyle!
- Weather
Zephyrhills has become a sought-after warm weather destination! Even with the humidity, temperatures are comfortable most of the year with ideal weather from mid-October to mid-May. For summer travelers, June is a popular month to visit, with longer days offering tourists plenty of daylight hours to explore all Zephyrhills has to offer!
- Natural Attractions
From the rolling hills and vibrant countryside to scenic parks and freshwater springs, Zephyrhills is a nature lover’s paradise. But did you know that Zephyrhills is home to a world-famous 530-acre sanctuary for environmental education and the preservation of Florida’s natural environment? Crystal Springs, which is also a source for the internationally known Nestlé Zephyrhills bottled water brand, features a wide variety of wilderness experiences for visitors, including a living laboratory and butterfly gardens!
- Outdoor Activities
The Gulf Coast region is also known as Florida’s Gulf Coast, and Zephyrhills has definitely earned its spot there! In fact, Skydive City in Zephyrhills is world famous for its skydive center and school, serving jumpers from beginners to expert!
If you’d rather play on land, Zephyrhills recently introduced a new sport to the area, padel! Immensely popular overseas, padel combines elements of squash, pickleball, tennis, platform tennis, and badminton into one unique game, played in doubles on a glass-surrounded court. You can try it out at the Sarah Vande Berg Tennis & Wellness Center in Zephyrhills, which has programs for players of all ages and skill levels.
Golf also is a popular Zephyrhills pastime, and the area boasts some beautiful courses! The Zephyrhills Municipal Golf Course offers affordable rates, making a day on the links accessible to anyone! The Links of Lake Bernadette, a semi-private golf club, earned the rating of the “Best Overall Value” in Tampa Bay by Golf Digest. For a championship-style course with scenic views, check out the Silverado Golf and Country Club.
