At Nest Ultrasound Studio in Trinity, FL, we get to meet glowing moms-to-be every single day. However, what is one thing we hear on repeat?
“I’m so tired.”
Girl, we get it. Growing a tiny human is a full-time job and then some. Between the baby prep of nesting, doctors’ visits, registry planning, chasing around a toddler if this is your 2nd pregnancy, and that delightful third-trimester heartburn, it’s no wonder you’re craving some serious rest and relaxation.
That’s why we are huge fans of a babymoon! Even better when it’s a babymoon staycation right here in the Tampa Bay area. No airports, no major packing, no stress. Just beautiful weather, peaceful vibes, and a chance to slow down before the baby arrives.
Here are some of our favorite local spots for a relaxing, recharging, totally-worth-it babymoon, perfect for Tampa Bay moms-to-be who deserve a little R&R!
Dunedin + The Fenway Hotel: Small-Town Charm + Big Relaxation Energy
Just a short drive from Trinity, Dunedin feels like it was designed with babymoons in mind. Think palm-lined streets, breezy waterfront views, and the kind of calm you can feel as soon as you park the car.
Check into the historic Fenway Hotel, it’s equal parts elegant and cozy, with a rooftop bar that’s perfect for sipping a mocktail and watching the sunset. Spend your day exploring the walkable downtown filled with local boutiques, cafes, and easy-going energy.
And don’t miss a trip to Honeymoon Island State Park! Don’t worry, post-hurricane, it’s looking better than ever. A gentle beach walk + salty air = instant bliss.
Babymoon Tip: Pack a sunhat, bring your favorite sandals or walking shoes, and don’t forget the belly butter.
Safety Harbor Spa: Pamper Yourself, Mama
We love a spa day… and Safety Harbor Resort and Spa is one of our top picks for a prenatal-friendly retreat. While you’ll want to skip the sauna and hot tubs, the prenatal massages, facials, and relaxing foot treatments are all calling your name.
Spend the day lounging by the pool then wander through downtown Safety Harbor which is full of charm, waterfront views, and delicious bites.
For the Nature-Loving Mama
Sometimes the best way to recharge is to connect with nature and luckily, Tampa Bay is loaded with peaceful outdoor escapes.
Consider a quick babymoon getaway to the natural springs north of us. Rent a kayak, take it slow, and maybe even spot a few manatees. Or explore one of the local nature preserves for a gentle walk under the trees. It’s grounding, beautiful, and just the kind of energy you’ll want to soak up before the baby arrives.
Clearwater Beach: Babymoon in Our Backyard
Let’s talk about a classic… Clearwater Beach. People literally fly in from around the country to visit… and we’re lucky enough to call it home.
Spend your babymoon stretched out in a beachside cabana, order a fancy mocktail, and enjoy the sound of waves while your feet are finally up.
Whether it’s a one-night escape or a full weekend, Clearwater makes the perfect babymoon destination, minus the travel stress.
We say it all the time, but it’s worth repeating — we live where people vacation. If you’ve been putting off planning a babymoon because it felt overwhelming, consider this your gentle nudge: you don’t have to go far to feel recharged.
From beachside relaxation to charming small towns and nature getaways, Tampa Bay is packed with perfect staycation babymoon spots. Whether you’re planning a weekend away with your partner or just sneaking in a solo spa day, this is your time to slow down, soak it in, and enjoy.
At Nest Ultrasound Studio, we love seeing you during this special season — whether it’s for a 2D ultrasound, 3D/4D/HD live scan, or a joyful Gender Determination Visit. When you get back from your babymoon glow-up, we’ll be right here, ready to welcome you back and show you that sweet little face.
