Florida - Tampa

St Pete's Beach

About a million visitors a year tread the sugary sands of the long, thin barrier islands skirting the shores of the Pinellas Peninsula opposite the exciting city of Tampa in west Florida, with St Pete's Beach at the southern tip being the most developed and popular resort enclave in this vacationer’s paradise. St Pete's is full of action and high-rise condominiums, with thrilling activities and attractions of its own to complement those of the neighbouring resort towns like Clearwater Beach. It is also within close reach of Tampa’s world famous Busch theme park, and the renowned attractions of Orlando are about 90 minutes’ drive to the east. Immediately south of St Pete's, at the mouth of Tampa Bay, is the protected, undeveloped Fort De Soto Park, while to the north Caladesi Island State Park can be easily reached. Both are rated among America’s top beaches. As if this were not enough to satisfy active holiday makers, just a few minutes away is the city of St Petersburg, considered to be the artistic capital of Florida. St Pete's Beach can justly claim to be the resort that offers ‘something for everyone’.
