Deemed the "Sunset Capital of Florida", St. Pete Beach rings in the beautiful sunsets by gathering to ring a bell every evening at sunset.

Nestled on the Gulf Coast, St. Pete Beach has miles of beautiful white beaches. This destination offers a wide range of selections for accommodations which include luxury resorts, family owned hotels and quaint B&B's.

St. Pete Beach has so many activities that there isn't a reason to leave the island! Spend the day shopping the Corey Avenue District or Historic 8th Avenue in Pass-a-grille. Neighboring beach communities offer additional shopping experiences and are a short Beach Trolley ride away. Enjoy water sports like surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, parasailing and fishing.
