St. Pete Waterfront District at sunset
The Waterfront Museum District
As if St. Pete’s sparkling downtown waterfront wasn’t picturesque enough, this part of the city is packed with murals, museums and restaurants serving "Insta-worthy" dishes. Then, there’s the string of gorgeous parks that line Tampa Bay.
You'll find St. Pete's Waterfront Museum District between Beach Drive and 3rd St., stretching from 7th Avenue South to 7th Avenue North. It's a walkable area, anchored by the jaw-dropping Salvador Dalí Museum at the southern end. Next door is the Mahaffey Theater, a stunning venue that brings national acts to town, as well as the resident Florida Orchestra. Nearby, Al Lang Stadium is where the Tampa Bay Rowdies play – its parking lot doubles as the location for the super-popular Saturday Morning Market from October to May (it moves to Williams Park during the warmer months). The Palladium offers everything from opera to burlesque to blues bands.
