Things to Do in St. Pete Beach


Planning a trip to St. Pete Beach? This barrier-island-turned-resort-town is filled with luxurious resorts, tasty food joints, and a beautiful beach. The only question is, what will be your first stop?

Will the sunny shoreline catch your eye first? A day filled with Gulf Coast views and thrilling watersports sounds fantastic, after all. Or will one of the many mouthwatering eateries catch your attention instead? Enjoy casual seafood bites at PJ’s Oyster Bar & Seafood Restaurant, an ice cold beer at Category 36 Taphouse & Kitchen, or fancy AAA Four Diamond-rated cuisine at Maritana.

All of that said, one of the biggest parts of any St. Pete Beach trip is your accommodation. Stay at the trendy boutique accommodation known as Hotel Zamora, go for the family-friendly Island Grand Beach Resort by TradeWinds Island Resorts, or opt for a luxurious room at The Don CeSar.

Last but certainly not least, if you’re looking for a few more spots to add to your itinerary, all you have to do is cross the bridge to the mainland! There, you’ll have access to many other St. Pete-Clearwater communities, just a few miles away, including quirky Gulfport and St. Pete where the arts and culinary scenes are enticing.
