Description

St. Pete Beach, located on a barrier island west of St. Petersburg, is famed for its miles of white-sand beaches, emerald-green waters, and top-notch resorts. This vibrant beach destination offers a variety of activities, from parasailing to sunset cruises. Visit the serene secret garden at Upham Beach, fish at the iconic St. Pete Pier, or explore the waters by stand-up paddleboard while watching for dolphins. On March 9, 1994, locals voted to officially shorten the name to “St. Pete Beach” to distinguish it from the nearby city of St. Petersburg, just a few miles to the east.
