« What to seek for in an Outdoor Wedding location A Help for Finding Cheap Holidays »
People come here to bring families for vacations, to seek solitary time in the sun, to have their wedding on what was voted one of Floridas top beaches, to fish at the dock or on a charter boat, to get away from Disney World for the rest of the week, or to be in the perfect location ” half way almost between north and south Florida and still on the coast. You can go running every morning by the water, in relative peace, or catch a fishing charter for the day or half day. Whatever the reason, the beauty of this area is one main pull.
For those who find the names confusing, St Pete Beach became a separate city from St. Petersburg City to the east in 1994. All the separate entities joined as part of it, so Passagrille, Belle Vista dn St. Petersburg Beach are considered as one. Depending on the season, the population can lower to 10,000 and rise to 20,000 as people arrive at their favorite spring destination.
There are 39 acres of public beach to enjoy, and almost that many of park area. People keep coming back as the beaches are beautiful, the rates are good if you are on a budget, and avoiding the spring break college crowd at Daytona has its own benefits. The crowds can swell at the beach but not in the same wild party way.
Don’t want to drive or rent a vehicle? Take the Beach Trolley around or a taxi. The Beach Trolley runs along Gulf Boulevard every 30 to 40 minutes and if you’re using it a lot, consider a day or week pass. St. Petersburg, Clearwater and the rest of the Tampa Bay area are accessible by the trolley. Bats Taxi Service can get your around, and it cheaper if you have a few people coming from Tampa International airport, than getting an airport shuttle to St Pete Beach. Compare prices first. Bats Taxi phone number is 727-367-3702.
Some people prefer a private residence rather than a hotel even if that means walking to the beach a few blocks instead of being right by the water. According to one woman from Denver I met on the beach, she and her husband keep renting small homes from Frank Hurley Associates rental and real estate office, and it is has been a popular choice for those people flexible about not being right on the sandy beach. 1-8–=783-6929.
