15 Best Things To Do in St. Petersburg, Florida

Picture of St. Petersburg, Florida

About St. Petersburg


Locally nicknamed St. Pete, St. Petersburg is on Florida’s Gulf Coast and has a number of islands, marinas, and beaches, making it the perfect city for people who love being close to water. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge offers a beautiful view of water on both sides when driving over it. It stretches for 12 miles, and you’re likely to see vessels passing below the bridge.

Although its forte is its scenic views, the city doesn’t fall behind in arts and culture either. An example of that is The Dali Museum, which has a comprehensive collection of over 2000 artworks along with a detailed representation of Dali’s artistic life.

Similarly, the Pinellas Trail is an ode to the city’s active lifestyle since it has provisions for everything from cycling and skating to running and walking.
