Why St Pete-Clearwater tops the list for a Florida family holiday
A sponsored Telegraph feature for Visit St Pete-Clearwater — Tracey guides UK families away from Orlando's queues and toward Florida's Gulf Coast: 35 miles of Guinness-record sunshine, the Pink Palace, dolphin-spotting off Pier 60 and a mangrove-tunnel kayak trail on Fort De Soto.
A branded-content commission for Visit St Pete-Clearwater — included here as a representative example of the sponsored travel work Tracey delivers for The Telegraph's Discover America hub. She walks a British family audience through the Pinellas peninsula as a smarter alternative to Orlando: Clearwater Beach's Guinness-record sunshine streak, the Art Deco Don CeSar ("Pink Palace") with a kids' spa menu, dolphin-spotting cruises off Pier 60, and mangrove-tunnel kayaking at Fort De Soto. Written to the brief but with the details a first-time visitor actually needs — direct BA flights to Tampa, the 90-minute drive to Orlando theme parks if you want to twin-centre it, Frenchy's Super Grouper sandwich as the lunch stop.
