Tampa is the name of the primary municipality in Hillsborough County.

Tampa Bay is the name of the body of water that separates the City of Tampa from Clearwater and St Petersburg FL.

Tampa Bay is also a reference to the Tampa Bay Area which includes the afore mentioned cities and the surrounding suburbs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are located in Tampa, and the Tampa Bay Rays are in St Pete, but all share the name and common geography.
