New Port Richey Florida - Things To Do & Attractions In ... - Visit Florida

New Port Richey, on Pasco County’s southern coast in Central West Florida, is the place to go for spectacular sunsets and outdoor adventures that range from easy and relaxed to action-packed.

Spot dolphins from the 650-foot boardwalk at Robert K. Rees Memorial Park and spend time on the beach. Explore New Port Richey’s parks, expansive nature preserves, and the Pithlachascotee or “Cotee” River, put in some miles on the Suncoast Trail, and hike, bike, and camp at Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park. Take your adventures to new heights with a trip to Treehoppers Aerial Adventure Park and zip-line between the treetops.

Explore the historic downtown area and check out Sims Park, which has an amphitheater, boat and kayak launches, and a playground and splash pad for kids. Catch a performance or movie at the historic Richey Suncoast Theatre and see the newly restored Hacienda Hotel, which has a full-service restaurant and bar. The 40-room bubblegum-pink Mediterranean Revival building brings visitors stylishly back to the 1920s, when the area was a haven and vacation spot for celebrities.

Grab a bite to eat at The Social NPR, which features a rooftop bar, Hershel’s Scratch Kitchen, or one of the area’s many popular restaurants. Finish with a craft beer at Cotee River Brewing Company or Ordinance One.
