St. Pete Beach — Attraction in Saint Pete Beach

Great place to go with family and friends. Well stocked bathrooms and easily accessible showers. The parking situation isn't ideal as the parking lot, which you have to pay for with a credit card, is small for the amount of people. The sand is kept clean of debris and is almost a sugary consistency, so rarely any big rocks or shells to step on. Going in the water, there's a small area of shells to step through, but once you're passed that, it's nice. The water is shallow for a bit and then gets deep before getting to a sandbar.

Remember your "Stingray Shuffle" and...

Beautiful beach! White sugar sand beaches, clean and great to walk along. Easy to walk miles in either direction (N-S) with multiple resorts dotting the way. Beautiful sunsets and wonderful views.
