It's hard to describe a place like the Secret Garden exists, but Luther Cook was determined to build something special. More than 30 years later, it's nothing short of that. Through hurricanes and decades of design, the Secret Garden on St. Pete Beach is one of the most unique spots on the map.

The best way to experience it is to take a stroll through a little after 6pm on a clear evening. As the sun begins to set, you'll see the dolphins pop out of the water to take a look, and the reflective lines of sunlight on the water naturally gravitate your eyes right back towards the horizon.

Only then will you see why it's truly become one of the secret gems on Florida's...

Edit januari 2025: The secret Garden is gone!!! The hotel behind it is expanding and taking over the beach and has demolished the beautiful garden. It doesn't exist anymore 😪 From may 2023: Absolutely beautiful little secret garden just at the end/beginning of the beach. There's also pelicans here to see, other exotic brida and we saw dolphins! Apparently they come sometimes during the day but the biggest chance to see then is sunset or sunrise they say. Also a manatee came really close into the beach, two girls in the water could pet it!! It was totally amazing...
