St Petersburg. (St Pete's)

There are Two parts to St. Petersburg, the downtown cultural district and St. Pete’s Beach. The beach is joined by causeways to Treasure Island and Madiera Beach. There is every type of water sport for you to enjoy from, Para-sailing, Dolphin sighting boat trips, wave runners and much more. This beach is another jewel in the crown of Gulf Coast beaches.

St Petes is also home of the famous Don CeSar Beach Resort, also known as “The Pink Palace”, a wonderfully designed hotel built in the 1920’s. Once frequented by many famous people such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Al Capone. It is not difficult to miss being decorated in vivid Pink with White trim. This hotel seperates St. Petes Beach with Pass-a-Grille beach. This is where the the intercoastal Waterway becomes Pass-a-Grille inlet sweeping into the Gulf of Mexico. Adventurers used to fish the nearby offshore waters and grill their catch on the beach, just like the original Indians used to. Visit Pass-a-Grille Way, beside the intercoastal waterway, where families grill in the yards and there is a sculpture of children dancing.
