Flights to Tampa

The amazing thing about St. Pete Beach is just how much it has to offer outside of its breathtaking expanses of sand and sea.

Located on a peninsula on the Gulf side of Florida, St. Pete Beach delights visitors not only with its beauty and laid-back vibe, but also with its mix of action and relaxation.

Vacationers spend their days soaking up the sun on the white sands, or swimming and splashing in the turquoise waters. Water sports are also immensely popular, and a handful of equipment rental shops line the barrier island. If the beach starts to get crowded, pack up and explore other attractions and activities in the area.

The Salvador Dali Museum boasts the largest collection of Dali paintings outside of Spain, and Fort DeSoto Park has a museum and Civil War-era fort remnants. If you have cash to blow, head to the Corey Avenue Shopping District, home to dozens of stores and a host of dining options offering eclectic fare.

Visitors to St. Pete Beach come for the sunshine and awesome sunset views, but are lured back again and again because of the area's dynamic feel. Plus, there's a world of adventure waiting in nearby tourism gems such as Orlando, Clearwater and Tampa. Spend your entire vacation on St. Pete Beach's shores, or explore other Gulf Coast beaches and towns. With a car and a full tank of gas, the possibilities are endless.
