Anyone familiar with the tech scene in Tampa / st Pete / Clearwater...I will not promote

I am interested in moving my family and remote startup down to the Tampa area. I never realized how big it is down there. Does anyone have advice on networks and Co working that I should be near in order to break into the community? I want to live near the ocean but everything I'm seeing is kinda far from down town. Is it easier to just move downtown or are there any regular networking events out between st Pete /clearwater?
