8 Hidden Gems Things to do in St. Pete Beach That You Shouldn't Miss
Sugary-white sand, dolphins frolicking just off shore and eight major barrier islands make St. Pete Beach a postcard-perfect seaside destination. Situated on a peninsula off Florida's west coast, it balances its oceanfront charms with top-notch art museums, including the largest collection of Salvador Dali paintings outside of Spain. Kayak through the calm waters, take a ferry to nearby Caladesi Island State Park to experience the state's wild beauty or stroll the rapidly gentrifying downtown for one-of-a-kind cafes.

Reviewed By atljpb - Atlanta, United States
My wife and I went to St Pete Beach recently and visited friends in Pass-a-Grille (or PAG as they call it in Florida). It is a delightful area, highly walkable with lovely restaurants, beautiful homes and views and a laid back, comfortable lifestyle. Simply put..........we could live here......and might. Our friends recently bought a house here and love it. With most people working from home now, it makes sense to be in a relaxed place with natural beauty. PAG certainly qualifies. For great views while eating, the Paradise Grill there is phenomenal unless you are attacked by a hungry seagull (even that is not too bad here). Love to spend more time here and will do so soon. I would recommend it but if I do I am afraid you will like it too and may be competing with us on a home purchase (LOL).

Not to be missed, our customized VIP offerings in our exclusive rooftop cabanas. HAPPY HOUR Daily, 3:30pm - 5:30pm
Reviewed By Stoltinger - Zurich, Switzerland
Beside the fabulous sunset view that likely every rooftop may provide, here we found it extraordinary nice. Lounge chairs, cool cocktails, friendly and attentive bar keepers, all good. Only that pretty good champagne at happy hour prices are given in plastic is a no go! And, I do not mean for environmental reasons, only. One tip - servants do provide great nuts if you insist on it in a friendly manner. We‘ll come back!
