St. Pete Beach har mer än 200 parkeringsplatser; parkering är $ 5 för dagen. Det finns toaletter, duschmöjligheter och strandpromenader som tar dig över sanddynerna. Simning är tillåtet, men det finns ingen livräddare i tjänst.
You can reach the island via Pasadena Avenue or the Pinellas Bayway, both of which have bridges connecting the island to the mainland. You can also take public transportation to the island and once there make use of the Suncoast Beach Trolley—that way you don’t have to worry about finding and paying for parking.
When to Get ThereSt. Pete Beach averages 361 days of sunshine a year, making it a popular year-round vacation destination. Visit in the spring for pleasantly warm temperatures—summer can get too hot while winter tends to be a little too chilly for sunbathing.
Built in the 1920s, the Don CeSar—also known as the Pink Palace—has been attracting visitors to its white-sand beaches, pools, and luxurious suites for nearly a century. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the oceanfront resort is worth a stop whether or not you are staying overnight. The trolley stops out front and day visitors can enjoy the resort’s restaurants, bars, spa, and beaches.
