This laid-back beach was voted TripAdvisor’s No. 1 beach and rated the No. 5 beach in the world in 2012.

There are also no shortage of restaurants in the St. Pete Beach area such as RumFish, Rick’s Reef, Spinner’s Rooftop, Snapper’s Sea Grill, Crabby Bill’s and Caddy’s on the Beach just to list a few local favorites. Gulf Blvd is also lined with endless shops, ice cream shops and fun filled activities that are great for families. So come down to St. Pete Beach and enjoy the beautiful white sand beaches and hotels.
