WEDDINGS, RECEPTIONS & PARTIES Need a romantic place to exchange vows, a "nuptial headquarters" or just a special place to stay for the wedding party or parents? Get married on the beach, in Indian Rocks Beach's park gazebo or right in the intimate setting of Lizard Hall.

Ahhh...the power of suggestion. Sometimes all it takes is a great getaway "idea" to encourage you to kick back at the beach.

BEACH STAYCATION

Do you live in Tampa, New Tampa, Brandon, Lakeland, Orlando (or even in St. Petersburg!) and are spending less money on your vacation in these tough economic times? You're not alone! Instead of flying off to the Caribbean, "staycation" at the beach for a day, a weekend or even longer. Less pressure preparing to be away. Plus, you can always jaunt back to Tampa (or NOT!) for a few hours if a meeting absolutely can't do without you.

"FAN"TASTIC FUN

Going to be visiting the Tampa Bay area because "your team" is playing the Bucs, the Rays, the Storm or the USF Bulls? Why not stay at the beach and treat yourself to a nice limo ride to game!

GIRLFRIENDS' GETAWAY

Girlfriends are FOREVER. The Laughing Lizard is the perfect place to congregate once or twice a year to talk (and talk and talk!) when you're not walking the beach, reading trashy novels, watching chick-flicks, lunching or gallery hopping. We can help you plan your "Girls' Weekend" or you can do whatever suits your mood!

BUSINESS RETREAT

Mix business with pleasure by making Laughing Lizard your out-of-the-office meeting place where our relaxed atmosphere and inviting gathering areas have been the birthplace of many a brilliant business idea.

BABYMOON

A pre-baby version of a honeymoon - a last, relaxing beach getaway before the little one arrives.

GOLFER'S GETAWAY

In town to play one of the area's many great golf courses? Stay out of the sand traps, but enjoy some sand between your toes nonetheless.

ARTSY AWAY

Bring the curtain down on a Tony-award winning Laughing Lizard beach sunset. Stay with us while visiting the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater area for a concert, play, museum tour, art show or music festival. Even take a class at the Beach Art Center between acts: beachartcenter.org

FISHING FRENZY

Make the Laughing Lizard your "terra firma" headquarters while landing the big one in a fishing tournament.
