From the initial call to reserve a boat to meeting the team back on the dock after a day of adventure, the experience with Tierra Verde Boat Rental was fantastic. Everyone was professional, helpful, and positive. The cost was reasonable and there were no unexpected, additional fees or charges. The boat was clean. Truly we had a fabulous day exploring.

Beach Boulevard

I'm not a shopper, but I do like walking down the tree-lined street and admiring how this town has been revitalized since I graduated from high school here over 50 years ago. I also enjoy the side streets for the same reason.

I took my family here to celebrate my 60th birthday. This was my favorite day! I loved watching my grandchildren see the beach for the first time! This beach is very clean!
We rented chairs and umbrellas from a very nice college age man.
There are many good and drink options all within a short walk.
They have free clean bathrooms.
They also have a giant water slide for a small fee.

Saint Pete Beach

Gorgeous, laid-back St. Pete Beach was voted TripAdvisor's No. 1 Beach in the U.S. and No. 5 in the world in 2012, based on millions of reviews from travelers around the world. When you visit this magical expanse of sand, you'll understand why.

Wonder what I would do if I lived here? It’s breathtaking! I’m hoping to return. Parking is a premium near St Pete’s Beach. We found a neighborhood seafood restaurant Ricks Reef to grab a bite. Just go right in find a seat type of place and the waiteress Will come over and take your order! There’s plenty of outdoor seating too.
Thanks for the amazing sunshine! I’m coming back every year!

Reviewed By vhughes6839 - St. Petersburg, Florida

This theatre is very small but not cramped, just intimate. We love the talent that is here and the performances never disappoint. They do serve drinks outside just before you enter the theatre and snaks, there are also restrooms that are clean for use. If you are late you will have to wait to enter as they will not let you disturb the scene that is being performed which is a good thing, nothing worse than trying to see the performance to have people parading in front of you making you miss it.

Pass-a-Grille

Historic beach area with restaurants, shopping, fishing, bike rentals, boat tours and cozy inns and motels.

Reviewed By Beachgirl_08Pa - Florida

We have visited Pass A Grille a number of times in the past year. It’s a cute little town with restaurants, shops, bars, and nice homes. Parking is hard to find unless you are willing to pay $2.25 per hour. We refuse to pay that much to park so we drive around and search out places to park for free. It’s a nice place to take a little walk but it’s not one of my favorite beaches as it’s pretty narrow and can get crowded. If you are like me and like to have a lot of space between you and other beach goers, I would recommend St Pete Beach or Treasure Island.

Reviewed By RRZF - Bethesda, MD

We had a great experience swimming with the fish today. They limit the number of participants on the tour and only 4 people swim at a time. The pre-swim tour is great and swimming in the tank is awesome. If you’re very still, the fish come right up near you. A great family experience that is very reasonably priced.

Harvest Moon Charters

Come sailing with us aboard our 34' Sailboat, Harvest Moon. We can look for dolphins and other wildlife and learn the basics of sailing during the Day Sail excursion, or we can relax and take in a world famous sunset over Pass a Grill inlet during our Sunset Cruise. Our trips are private and can be tailored to make sure that you have an amazing and memorable experience out on the water.

Reviewed By Jamie M

Shortly after my husband and I were married on Clearwater Beach, we travelled a bit further south and found Harvest Moon Charters. Going on this sunset cruise definitely enhanced our "Florida" experience. This was our last night in the area and it was the best kind of send off. Captain Mike allowed for the new "Bride" to pick the music for the sail, very polite of him :-) Among great conversations and beautiful scenery, this was an experience to remember. We're dying to get back on our beach and head out on the beautiful gulf with Harvest Moon Charters.
